Former McKinney mayor George Fuller has long been recognized as both a civic leader and a driving force in North Texas’ cultural and creative development. A builder, developer, and musician, Fuller has spent decades championing the arts and helping establish McKinney as a destination for live music, fine instruments, and community events. Beyond his public service, he is also the founder and owner of The Guitar Sanctuary, a nationally respected boutique guitar showroom. Now, Fuller is scaling his collection down a bit, and is offering 100 high-end guitars from his personal collection.



The Guitar Sanctuary has become one of the premier destinations in the country for musicians seeking boutique craftsmanship and exceptional service. The store is known for its carefully curated inventory of PRS Private Stock instruments, custom builds from acclaimed luthiers, vintage finds, and a wide spectrum of amps and pedals selected for tone-focused players. Since its opening, the Guitar Sanctuary has also served as a cultural hub, hosting concerts, clinics, and community performances that reflect Fuller’s deep commitment to music education and artistic expression.

Also notable is the caliber of guitar talent that makes The Guitar Sanctuary event center a preferred stop on many national and international tours. Some of these include The Aristocrats, Monte Montgomery, Mark Lettieri, John Waite, Alex Skolnick, Mike Stern, and countless other top players. Even further notable – many of these performers will bypass a Dallas show stop in favor of playing McKinney. Unquestionably and consistently, these curated performers put on shows that leave audiences with jaws-dropped, both in the quality of the music, and individual prowess.

Fuller’s private collection reflects more than 20 years of selective, passion-driven acquisition. These instruments represent some of the finest examples from PRS, Gibson, Fender, Echopark, Nik Huber, Knaggs, Warrior, and other elite builders. Many pieces are rare, one-of-a-kind, or historically significant, curated for their tonal character, craftsmanship, and beauty. And the tops on some of these instruments are natural works of art.

Prices on instruments range anywhere from about $3k on the low side, to upwards of $38k on the high. Check out a few selected links below. Pieces seen by appointment only. Call (972)540-6420 for more info.
