Our friend Bill Collings, founder of Collings Guitars, passed away on July 14, 2017 after a tough battle with cancer.

We’re working on a tribute for Bill in the next print issue of the Journal so if you have any great stories about Bill, we’d love to hear them. We also decided to share this talk he gave at the first Fretboard Summit in 2015. During this session, Bill was interviewed by Mark Stutman (Folkway Music). It was a lively, unfiltered chat full of laughs. Bill also fielded questions from the audience, talked about Waterloos and more.

RIP Bill. We’re going to miss our chats with you. –Jason
