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.
Haggerty's Music
Haggerty's Music is a family-run shop in Rapid City, South Dakota — the Atlas's first dealer in the state — with roots in a 1963 Haggerty family department store whose back-room instrument counter grew into a full music store on West Main Street. Today it's best known as a Taylor powerhouse: a Taylor Premier dealer carrying one of the largest Taylor selections in the Atlas, deep in One-of-a-Kind custom builds, Gold Label, and the flagship 800-series line, with recent stock reaching into the high five figures. The boutique acoustic floor extends well past Taylor — a strong Santa Cruz shelf, Martin and Gibson acoustics, and the occasional Collings — alongside an active used and consignment trade. For Taylor shoppers especially, Haggerty's is a genuine destination, and a rare high-end acoustic stop in the northern Plains.
