What people say about Celtic Cross ...
"The guitar arrived yesterday and I just wanted to say thanks! It's quite beautiful and definitley well-made. I wasn't sure whether to display it on the wall or play it but when I played it I had my answer. Sweet! It has a very warm sound as you described. The case is quite nice too. "

Slide Guitars of the Early 20th Century

The popularity of Hawaiian music and in particular the "slide" style of playing brought on a vast number of guitar manufacturers to make round, square and hollow neck instruments, the most popular being the Knutsen-inspired Hollow Neck by Herman Weissenborn. Other makers such as Regal made instruments for many other companies.

I have gathered up a few of the many slide guitars of this time period and included them on my website for interest's sake.
