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.
Action Music
Action Music is a Falls Church, Virginia independent founded in 1997 by Matt Baker, built around an on-site repair bench staffed by working musicians. Baker came to the trade through Bryan Galloup's Guitar Hospital in Big Rapids, Michigan — one of the country's serious repair-certification programs — and through years touring as guitar tech for national acts. His partner Mike Dutton, an Alexandria native, anchors the playing side, with a long resume backing regional and touring blues artists and current work in the Rogue Johnsen Project and The Snake Farmers. The shop reflects both perspectives — a broad floor of electric guitars, amps, and effects for gigging players alongside a thoughtful boutique-acoustic shelf anchored on Huss & Dalton and Collings. As the only Atlas dealer in the immediate DC metro, they're the natural in-person stop for Virginia, Maryland, and DC area players.
