"Grand Orchestral" Master Grade Sitka Top, Indian Rosewood Back & Sides, Curly Koa Bindings, Koa/Abalone Rosette
Hollander Guitar, created and built by Ric Hollander


This is truly a custom boutique guitar. Perfect for DADGAD or lower C tunings. In mint condition! Every piece of wood on this guitar is stunning. Unplugged or plugged in the guitar delivers a consistant sound. There is no battery inside the guitar. The preamp is external with trim and volume for both sides left and right. Played along with a Martin, Taylor, or Huss & Dalton, you will find the Hollander to have more bottom end definition and loudness like a professional concert guitar. Clear and not boomy, with sustain the last forever. A finger stylists dream!

Asking $3,650 (original selling price $5,400)

Sale comes with: Cedar Creek custom guitar case, Small Dog cover case,
Pickup the World” Model #54 with Stereo Power Plug Preamp, and a new set of Elixir® NANOWEB® strings installed on the guitar.

*The only flaw to mention is a few suface marks just below the rosette near the bridge. Shown in the last 2 pictures. It was very difficult to even capture a picture of these marks. One picture displays from a window reflecting on the face of the guitar, and the other picture shows the same suface location from the top.

3 Sound Samples... I am on the road with this guitar, so I did not have a good selection for microphones to choose from for this demo. Recorded straight into Pro Tools MBox Pro. No compressor, and a -5db soft cut at 125hz
