finest quality handcrafted hollowneck guitars
What people say about Celtic Cross ...
"The guitar has arrived.I tuned it up to the open A. It really sounds mellow. A person could get spoiled owning one of your baritones. The wood is beautiful. You picked out some great looking pieces. It's just like I was hoping.The low bass is so low it takes a while to get used to tuning that low. But now it's all set and I'm blazing on warm up scales, etc. "

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.
