Hollander Guitars, created and built by Ric Hollander
I met Ric at a fine art show in Long Island, NY, a few years ago. On our meeting, he informed me that he was going to build master class guitars for the serious guitar player or collector and that he had completed his first design. Curious about Ric's enthusiasm in the art of guitar building and sound quality, I requested an opportunity to sample it. Wow!!! That just begins to sum up my first impression of Ric's master craftsmenship and amazing sound. Easy to play, deep defined lows, perfect mid-tone definition, and clean sustaning highs. And still...wow!!!
I was at a music store in Maryland a week before the meeting with Ric. I sampled a few of their high end guitars and was very impressed with a Taylor Fall Limited that was made with black walnut back and sides. Great guitar and really caught my interest. Somehow left that store without that Taylor in my hand. One week later, I'm playing Ric's guitar and can't believe what I'm hearing. Handmade, premium wood and materials, great price, and amazing sound. Had to have one! Taylor and Martin have been my choice for years, but I can honestly say that the guitar built for me by Ric Hollander will be raising the quality of sound for my future recordings and definitely be bringing years of amazing sound to all my listeners!
