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 Rudy's Music
Rudy's Music opened in 1978 when Rudy Pensa and his wife Fran started a small shop on 48th Street, the legendary Midtown block where New York's instrument dealers stacked floor by floor. Born in Argentina, Rudy is a builder as well as a shopkeeper — the Pensa Custom Shop's MK model, designed with Mark Knopfler in 1985, sits among the most sought-after custom electrics in the world. The shop moved to a Soho flagship at 461 Broome St in 2014 — chosen for its proximity to John D'Angelico's old Kenmare St workshop and the original Martin factory site — and a second location opened in Scarsdale Village in 2018, with inventory unified across both stores. Their boutique acoustic floor leans on Santa Cruz, Bourgeois, Collings, and Goodall alongside the shop's deeper electric, amp, and pedal catalog — one of the few NYC destinations where a buyer can walk in and find a curated high-end acoustic selection.
