Lyle Lovett and Bill Collings
Filmmaker Tim Edwards takes an inside look at Collings Guitars with his documentary "Instrumental" (2010). The 12 minute film takes us into the heart of Collings' culture, touching on everything from Bill's inspiration to build his first guitars to his success as an internationally recognized luthier.

Bill Collings and his team of skilled luthiers build custom handmade acoustic and electric guitars, mandolins, and ukuleles in Austin, Texas. Over the past 35 years, Collings Guitars has set the standard for quality, tone, and playability amidst a number of fine guitar companies and independent builders. In a low production environment, Bill Collings has created a culture that lives and breathes attention to detail. Collings’ reputation for quality construction and consistency is internationally known, and has earned the patronage of some of the world’s most accomplished artists and performers.

It’s our mission to deliver heirloom quality instruments that will provide a lifetime of value and enjoyment. We hope you’ll visit one of our authorized dealers to see the Collings difference for yourself.
