Collings Guitars
Collings Guitars come out of Austin, Texas — a shop that began on Bill Collings' kitchen table in mid-1970s Houston and grew into one of the most respected names in modern acoustic lutherie. Bill was the kind of builder who would reject a part over a tolerance most players couldn't feel, and that exactness became the Collings signature: a crisp, articulate, precise voice that records beautifully and turns up in studios as often as on stages. Bill died in 2017; the team he trained, led by longtime general manager Steve McCreary, has kept the line right where he set it.
The Music Emporium
The Music Emporium has been a Boston-area institution for decades — a Lexington, Massachusetts shop with one of the deepest curated boutique acoustic catalogs in the country. They're the kind of dealer where Bourgeois, Olson, Lowden, and Collings sit on the wall like that's a normal day, and where working players and serious collectors have done business in person and at distance for years.
