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.
Peach Guitars
Peach Guitars opened in 1991 in a Braintree craft centre — initially selling guitars alongside metal detectors — before founder Derek Peachey hired blues player John Priest, who eventually took over with his father Alan. In 2017 the business consolidated into a 2-floor superstore on Colchester's Severalls Industrial Estate, now displaying over 1,500 guitars. A western-themed showroom called the Peach Saloon, with stage and bar, hosts in-store events; each shipped guitar receives inspection and a professional setup.
