About Collings Guitars

Collings Guitars come out of Austin, Texas — a shop that started in a Houston apartment in 1973 and grew into something close to an institution. Bill Collings was the kind of builder who would reject a guitar over a tolerance most players couldn't feel, and that standard became a Collings trademark: crisp, articulate, pin-sharp tone that records beautifully and shows up in studios as often as on stages.

About Brickhouse Guitars

Brickhouse Guitars operates out of a converted brick house on Lancaster Street in Kitchener, Ontario — the building's history is the shop's name. The catalog runs across two distinct spaces: a Main Level store carrying the broader retail mix (Godin family acoustics, Furch's accessible-price series, Recording King, Washburn) and an Upper Luthier Gallery upstairs, by-appointment only, where the boutique work lives. The Upper Gallery is anchored by the deepest Furch and Boucher SGI Collection inventory in North America, paired with an unusually consistent stockist relationship with the Quebec luthier community — Michel Pellerin, Julien Sublet, Dontcho Ivanov, Théo Kazourian, and Bouchereau all appear regularly. Sheldon Schwartz and TreeHouse Guitars from Ontario, Ciarán McNally from Northern Ireland, and Hozen's tiered line round out the boutique slate. Pre-owned inventory rotates through Santa Cruz, Collings, Bourgeois, and other high-end American shops. The shop also operates Octane Studios at The Octave Music Centre, a sister recording space where the shop's video demos are recorded — useful context for shoppers comparing online demos against the live instrument. For shoppers focused on Furch, Boucher, or the Quebec luthier community, Brickhouse is the deepest single-dealer catalog in Canada.
