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.
Lauzon Music
Three generations on Wellington Street: Larry and Dorothy Lauzon opened the shop in 1945, Ken took it over in 1974 and grew it across two floors, and Dave runs it now. The louder half is electric — Fender and Gibson Custom Shop, and the boutique amps they've carried since Dr. Z and Fulltone arrived in the nineties — which is what their September showcase is built around. The acoustic room is quieter and more Canadian: Boucher in unusual depth, Collings beside it, and the full factory spec sheet published for each.
