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.
