About Collings Guitars
Collings Guitars come out of Austin, Texas — a shop that started in a Houston apartment in 1973 and grew into something close to an institution. Bill Collings was the kind of builder who would reject a guitar over a tolerance most players couldn't feel, and that standard became a Collings trademark: crisp, articulate, pin-sharp tone that records beautifully and shows up in studios as often as on stages. Bill died in 2017, but the team he trained kept building, and the line has held — Collings still means what it has always meant.
About Gryphon Stringed Instruments
Gryphon Stringed Instruments began in a Palo Alto garage in 1969, building steel-string guitars, F-style mandolins, and banjo necks. Repair work overtook luthiery by 1972, and a 1973 storefront made the retail-plus-repair shift permanent. The shop also runs as a longstanding music school — Carol McComb's Folk Guitar Workshops anchor an instruction calendar that operates alongside the retail floor. Mainstays remain acoustic guitars, mandolins, and banjos, with a deliberate share of the catalog given to small companies and individual makers, and no commissioned sales staff.
