Hi Eric,
I too took the plunge into the Harp Guitar world in December. I bought a Holloway HG Model 5 Natural. http://www.hollowayharpguitars.com/ Recently got my electronics set-up all squared away. Sounding good. I will agree about the learning curve. Pretty steep, but slow progress has really been rewarding. Stephen Bennett just released two Harp Guitar instructional DVD's. Available at his web-site, the Harp Guitar Music page of Harpguitars.net. and Truefire. He plays in a different sub tuning (Bennett tuning=high to low G, D, C, B, A, G. which requires a different set of strings) Lots of fun and potential, just need to find the time.... Mike

Hi Eric,
Went with K&K. After picking Andy McKee's brain about the electronics in his Greenfield HG. The neck got a standard K&K Pure Mini. The subs got a custom undersaddle FanTaStick p/up. (custom because of the non standard string spacing on the subs) Wired in stereo, and out to a D-Tar Solstice preamp. Since the Solstice is two channel, it gives me volume and tone controls for each p/up - channel. Got to run it through its paces after church last Sunday. Once I got things dialed in, it sounded great. It was funny how many congregation members came up and asked what the HG was. Be prepared for them, as they will ask. Mike
