It is with great sadness that I share the news of Lance’s death from an abdominal aortic aneurysm on Sunday, February 1, 2009.
I send my personal thanks to all of you who have been a part of our lives. So many wonderful people shared his love and understanding of this beautiful instrument and its possibilities.
The outpouring of love and support for our family has been appreciated more than I could ever put into words. We feel your thoughts and prayers and know that they are what will get us through this challenge.
Lance put so much of himself into each guitar that his spirit will continue to be felt in the world each time you play.
So, take time to play…

We apologize for the lack of updates! A revamp is coming soon, with some interesting developments on the electric guitar front. And, if you'd like to read an insightful article on Lance from 1998, Julie Bergman (the author) has posted it on her website: http://www.juliebergman.com/pdfs/luthier/34.mccollum.pdf.

"After playing guitar for over thirty years, I think it is amazing to be able to find a guitar that makes me say, 'I didn't know a guitar could be this good.' The guitar is absolutely superlative in every way. Thank you for making such fine musical instruments." - Joe Kreoll

"I never wanted a guitar as good as my McCollum, because I didn't realize there could be such a thing. I'll die still trying to be worthy." - Hank Alrich.
