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.
Alamo Music
Alamo Music Center is San Antonio's hometown music store — family-owned since 1929 and the oldest, longest-running instrument dealer in Texas. Alfredo Flores Sr. opened it as Alamo Music Exchange just months before the 1929 crash, and four generations on it's still in the Flores family, with showrooms downtown and in Austin. It's a full-service shop first — lessons, rentals, repair, financing, pianos, and band and orchestra instruments — rather than a boutique-acoustic specialist, and the catalog runs broad to match. For high-end flat-top shoppers, the draw is Martin: Alamo works directly with Martin's Custom Shop on shop-exclusive runs, including the "Alamo Authentic" guitars marking its 95th anniversary, alongside a deep Taylor selection (custom "Catch" builds included) and the occasional Furch, Larrivée, or Thorell. The boutique acoustic shelf is modest, but Alamo is the natural in-person stop for serious acoustic shopping in South Texas.
