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 Folkway Music
Folkway Music in Waterloo, Ontario is a repair-anchored shop — owner Mark Stutman built the store on vintage restoration work, and every instrument spends time on a Folkway bench before it goes on the wall. The boutique acoustic side carries a steady rotation of Collings, Atkin, Santa Cruz, Iris, Lakewood, and Pre-War, while the vintage Martin and Gibson inventory runs deep year-round. One of the best stops in Canada for boutique flatops, and a long-standing destination for serious vintage buyers across North America.
