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.
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.
