“Every day we try to make a better guitar, every day.”
~ Bill Collings (1948-2017)
Founded by Bill Collings in the 1970s, Collings has grown from a one-man shop into one of the most revered names in boutique instruments.
Known for their flawless build quality and inspiring tone, Collings acoustics, electrics, and mandolins reflect a tradition of craftsmanship and innovation that continues today.
As their largest retailer for many, many years, we’re proud to showcase their work and help players discover why these instruments are held in such high regard.
Acoustic Guitars
Collings acoustics set the benchmark for modern guitar building. Their Standard Series delivers unmatched clarity and balance, the Traditional Series channels the warmth and responsiveness of golden-era designs, and the Hill Country Series offers stripped-down simplicity with Collings’ signature craftsmanship.
We love Collings because every guitar reflects Bill’s legacy: precision, tone, and an unmistakable feel that keeps players inspired for a lifetime.
Electric Guitars
Collings electrics combine vintage inspiration with modern improvements. From the punch and versatility of the I-35 to the LP-inspired City Limits and the offset character of the 71 Series, each model feels familiar yet distinctly Collings.
What we love most: they’re impeccably built, effortlessly playable, and deliver tones that rival, and often surpass, the golden-era guitars that inspired them.
Mandolins
Collings mandolins are celebrated for their balance, projection, and impeccable craftsmanship. Whether it’s an A-style for clean simplicity, an F-style for traditional bluegrass power, or a MT2 that bridges refinement with punch, every mandolin is built with the same Collings commitment to tone and detail.
We love them because they set a standard few modern builders can match - instruments that sing with clarity and depth, right out of the case.
