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.
Tone Shop Guitars
Tone Shop Guitars was founded in Addison, Texas in 2015 by Dallas–Fort Worth musicians and has since grown into three full-line shops across the metroplex — the original Addison store plus Fort Worth and Southlake. The floor runs new, used, and vintage side by side, backed by an in-house tech bench and a Plek machine at the Addison location. For acoustic shoppers, the shop is led by deep Martin and Taylor catalogs — with substantial Martin Custom Shop and Taylor Custom content — alongside Gibson's acoustic line and a real Collings shelf. They also run a custom-order program spanning Collings, Martin, Taylor, and Gibson custom acoustics, helping buyers spec and order a build directly from the factory. A broad Dallas–Fort Worth destination with one of the widest custom-shop selections in the region.
