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.
Mass Street Music
Mass Street Music has operated for more than three decades on Massachusetts Street in Lawrence, Kansas — an independent shop with a wide catalog spanning new, used, and vintage instruments. The boutique acoustic shelves run heavy on Collings, with Santa Cruz, Waterloo, and occasional single-luthier builds (Leo Posch among them) rounding out the inventory. Every guitar that leaves the floor — boutique-priced or value-priced — gets a free setup from the in-house luthiers.
