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.
Chicago Music Exchange
A Chicago fixture in Lakeview, Chicago Music Exchange has spent a quarter-century as one of the country's premier vintage-and-new guitar destinations, staffed by players and technicians who relish the details. Amid a vast catalog of electrics, amps, and effects sits a serious flat-top room: unusually deep Atkin alongside Collings, Santa Cruz, and Bourgeois, with Goodall, Lowden, and Huss & Dalton rounding out the shelves. The boutique-acoustic selection reads like the work of people who actually play what they sell.
