HALL-OF-FAME Wood Alert! You litereally may never find woods this exotic again. This is a Prototype 1-off guitar hand created as a “statement piece” to represent Bryan Holloway’s entrance into the Boutique Guitar scene. Consider this:

So let’s get down to it…Builder’s name is Bryan Holloway. For years Bryan has been a major player & builder. Brian works with a major guitar builder and focuses on custom builds for celebs and demanding private clients. His skills have been fine tuned through a friendship & apprenticeship with Larry Wysocki who is one of the most highly regarded builders in the world (Jon Herington of Steely Dan & Steve Kimock of Ratdog to name a few). To set the stage, imagine this…Larry Wysocki is THE industry go-to guy when it comes to woods. Larry has been doing this for 50-years and has the most sought after timber in the world. Larry’s guitars are $8k+ and rarely available on the open market.
I can tell you that I carry the best handmade boutique guitars currently made. This is in the upper echelon of anything I’ve had. Imagine PLAYING a Bentley automobile. It is beautiful, tastefully elegant but underneath it’s a performance vehicle. You will have a nearly impossible time finding any guitar that is louder or more resonant unplugged. This instrument is alive. You will not likely EVER AGAIN find a Birdseye Maple Neck/Board this figured. The Redwood…typically only found on $10k Guitars (see the current Suhr stamped out offerings for proof).
If you’re a collector, player or investor, this PROTOTYPE is one you want to grab. There won’t be another!~
