Come to the Harp Guitar Gathering in Milford, CT at the end of the October and hear the world’s first HyVibe-equipped harp guitars! We’re talking Timberlines, with HyVibe’s support and custom installation done by Chuck Thompson and Jack Jenkins (shown is a T30, ready to go).  If you’re not familiar with the incredible new technology, Google and YouTube it now! Chuck and I will also be offering a special deep discount if you order a parlor T60 (with or without pickups or HyVibe) while at the Gathering ..read more

COMING SOON! My new responsive blog switchover is not quite yet ready; this will look even better on all your devices shortly! PS: Comments are down, but will back up in the new format. – G Those who follow my Facebook feed will have seen a single image from this story – an adventure that took place last month when my wife and I visited my home city to attend my niece’s wedding celebration, see family, and get the Architecture River Tour of Chicago. Everything was great, but this additional short adventure was (to put it simply) mind-boggling. Our story actually begins a dozen years ago in th ..read more

Greetings, harp guitar fans! While I continue to work behind the scenes to roll out a brand new “responsive” blog section of Harpguitars.net, I added another offshoot of that on Instagram. Basically, it was an attempt to find a way to address the several hundred images in my files that would otherwise never see the light of day…not enough enough for a full article or even short blog, sometimes barely enough for a caption. But priceless, nevertheless. I’ll also cherry pick some photos dedicated site readers will be familiar with. The point is to get this stuff out there! Below are the first 9 p ..read more

Exciting news! For those of you who prefer your music digital but high quality and straight from the artists, I finally got my Bandcamp page up and running. All my own stuff, plus all my HGM label compilation albums on which I appear. Even the out-of-print and pricey “Water is Wide” Stephen Bennett tribute album. This isn’t about making money (I gave that up ages ago), it’s so fans and friends worldwide can stream, download (individual tracks or full albums) AND get full liner notes (most free with download) so you can see the incredible instruments you’re hearing (and who’s playing them). But ..read more

No, I’m not saying my arch-guitarist friend’s gone off his rocker…I’m talking about his new book!

The Renewed Guitar

The Renewed Guitar is the title of a stunning new coffee table book coming soon to guitar fanatics everywhere! I haven’t seen any galleys, but can attest that it will be a top notch production, with something for everyone – chock full of rare images of 6-string guitars (and, yes, harp guitars) from all periods. It’s been a 5-year labor of love by my Euro friends Erik Hofmann and Stefan Hackl. If you have their stupendous Stauffer & Co. book, then you know they don’t skimp (though this one will be a more lap-manageable 11.7″ x 10.6″). (You may as well pick up a copy of the Stauffer book w ..read more
