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 The Guitar Sanctuary
The Guitar Sanctuary is a boutique shop in McKinney, Texas — a half hour north of Dallas — that frames itself as "shelter from the retail storm": a curated showroom with high-craft builders front and center and a sales floor staffed to actually know the instruments. The shop is more than retail. Their Performance Academy runs one-on-one lessons across guitar, vocal, piano, and bass with rolling enrollment, and they host live concerts in their own events space — students get stage time alongside touring acts, learning the room as much as the instrument. Their boutique acoustic shelves anchor on Bourgeois (Touchstone, Custom Shop, and Aged Tone Series), Collings, Lowden, and McPherson.
