Hank,
Was there any issue with putting the Waverly banjo tuners on your guitar? Did you get them from StewMac or Holloway? Does the pup system have a different output for the bass strings? What are you running it through? FWIW I changed my bass strings based on a note that Scott and Gregg sent. I was having trouble with the banjo tuners holding pitch on the bass strings, so I went for the lighter set. Perhaps with a little more adjustment on the tuners they would have worked with the original strings. Either way the guitar is holding pitch now. |

I have a Model 4 for about a month now. The best guitar purchase that I've ever made. It actually sent me into major Harp GAS. But, I ended up with a 1909 Maurer, a 1906 Knutsen and the Grand Old Man of them all a 1910ish Dyer . All four of these guitars, for me, jump all over every guitar that I've ever touched. I'm keeping the Holloway as my "first Harp" and will play it often. As a matter of fact after I play one of the "elders" I have no problem picking up the Holloway and feeling completely satisfied with it as well.

No problem with installing the Waverly banjo tuners, it was really easy to do. I did reuse the original washers from the guitar, since the Waverly's came with a slightly smaller washer. I bought the tuners from Stew Mac and they work very well. Hank |

I too like the sound that Stephen Bennett gets on the harp guitar. For a good example, listen to "Perestroika"! The late Michael Hedges also did some nice tunes. I don't have it on MP3 but somewhere I have a Will Ackerman / Michael Hedges DVD from Red Rocks where MH displays his harp guitar skills.

Tele,
My guitar has a dual K&K mini system wired stereo with a single output jack. You can also also use 2 PUPs with two jacks. I know Scott at Holloway has wired them various ways. The stereo output requires you to use a stereo cord into a stereo channel or a "Y" cord into two channels. I use a Raven Blender that has a stereo input with my Daedalus rig. I also have a 2 channel 60 watt AER that will work with a "Y" cord. The Daedalus of course sounds much better for the sub basses. Hank |

Hey Doug, will you be doing any local performances with your harp guitar? Would love to see you play live.
