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.
Dream Guitars
Dream Guitars sits in Asheville, North Carolina, in what may be the most photographed shop in the boutique acoustic world. Their inventory runs deep across the modern fingerstyle and bluegrass spectrum — Kostal, Bashkin, Goodall, Bourgeois, Pre-War, and many others — and the staff has earned a reputation for knowing each instrument in detail and matching buyers to the right one.
