In this video from youtube, Mollys discusses this guitar at 2:17, "I have two Huss & Dalton guitars. One of them is actually in an exhibit in the Country Music Hall of Fame right now so I can't use it.

Mentioned in the November 2022 edition of Guitar World. Used on the album "Crooked Tree", done in collaboration with The Golden Highway.

Speaking of guitars, on Crooked Tree, Tuttle used a Brazilian rosewood Martin D-28 that she picked up in 2019. “They’re built to replicate guitars from the Thirties,” she says. “To me, it’s as close as a new guitar comes to sounding like an old guitar, and the Brazilian rosewood makes it ring in a really nice way. It almost has a piano-like tone.”
