For a long time I’ve wanted to add a harp guitar to the collection, but the price was always a problem. Even an unplayable wreck can fetch $2000. Also it’s not like you can go to your local Guitar Center and pull one off the wall. No one has been mass producing them for at least 75 years, until now.
I was lurking around in the AGF when I found a post with a link to Holloway Harp Guitars. Apparently a new venture from an importer from Idaho. With a price tag between $1200 to $1500, it puts it more in the range for folks on a budget, (like me).
I have no doubt that having one made by a Luthier is a much better instrument, and should be, but for an entry level piece these might do well. From what little I have found on the internet on the Holloway’s, so far the reviews have been favorable. I'm putting one on my list in the #2 slot. 12 string Guild comes first.
Here is a treat if you never heard a harp guitar played. Greg Miner is one of the best. This is from his 1996 Christmas CD. Enjoy.
