"We've been doing business with the folks at The Music Emporium for well over 20 years. It's pretty amazing to realize that they have been around for more than twice that long. It's difficult to explain just how valuable they are to a company like Collings. A store that has deep knowledge of both vintage and new instruments, they are able to handle questions regarding all of the instruments we build."

Collings Guitars | Brand Story

More interested in guitars and engineering than in his pre-med program, Bill Collings took a job at a machine shop in the '70s and began building guitars on his kitchen table with just a few hand tools. Coming from a family of engineers, Bill’s experience as a craftsman and his natural curiosity equipped him to experiment and quickly improve his craft. Before long his instruments were in the hands players like Rick Gordon, Lyle Lovett, Pete Townshend, Joni Mitchell, and Brian May. Today, the company's mission is to continue Bill's legacy, following his passing in 2017, by continuing to build the finest stringed instruments available.
