| We are proud to have our new
dealership for Collings Guitars of Austin Texas. Collings Guitars have
become popular with artists of several genres with customers as diverse
as Lyle Lovett, John Prine, Keith Richards, David Grissom, Joni Mitchell,
Edward Van Halen, Lou Reed and Paul Simon. Praise from these artists is
not solicited. While some other companies give instruments in return for
endorsements, every artist that plays a Collings has paid for it!
Born in Michigan in 1948, Bill Collings
grew up in Ohio and then moved to Texas in the mid 70's. A lifelong interest
in guitars, tools and machinery led him to build a few guitars while working
as a machinist in Houston. After relocating to Austin, Bill got serious
about lutherie, and his company grew from a one car garage to it's current
3200 sq.ft. facility. Though the business has grown and processes refined,
there is one thing that has not changed...Bill Collings commitment to building
the finest acoustic steel string guitars possible. |
