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 Willie's American Guitars
Willie's American Guitars is a long-running Saint Paul anchor in the Mac-Groveland neighborhood, operating since the 1980s and specializing in vintage and boutique acoustic guitars in equal measure. The floor pairs deep Martin and Gibson vintage with curated new boutique builds — Collings, Santa Cruz, and Larrivée rotate alongside Martin Custom Shop and the occasional surprise in their "Other" subcategory. The shop is small enough to know every instrument on the wall and old enough that the wall has seen a lot of inventory pass through. For Upper Midwest players, they're the closest serious destination for both ends of the acoustic spectrum — current builds and historic instruments under one roof.
