Here is Holland's guitar collection along with a little background [in Holland's own words] on how he got them and some of the history behind the instruments.

"This is a Gibson ES 125, late 50’s early 60’s model. I bought it a few years back at a place in FT Worth. I use it in open B tuning for an Elmore James type slide."

"This guitar was given to me by my girlfriend. She found it when she was cleaning out a garage. I call it the "bullet hole acoustic." It’s got a bullet hole where someone tried to put a pickup in it. It’s a nice sounding guitar and similar in shape and size to the first guitar bought for me (Japanese Prairie)."

"This is an Applause acoustic. It’s not particularly valuable. I got a good deal on it and really liked the color. It’s an interesting looking guitar. It’s made by the same people that make the Ovation .You can’t tell by this picture but the back of it is made out of plastic stuff AND it’s round. It makes it extremely difficult to sit and play. It’ll slide out of your lap all the time. It’s a poorly designed guitar. Once you wear the fret board out you throw the guitar away. But I love the color."

This is a ‘78 Gibson Les Paul, "the Paul" model, not particularly valuable. That one’s well wore out. I’ve played the heck out of it so much that my sweat wore out the back pickup.

So you see a silver-covered replacement pickup on the back and the bridge has been replaced. Just cause sweat virtually ate all that up after playing for so long. It’s got some permanent sweat stains in it. One of these days I plan on getting a black open face pickup back on there just so it’ll be like the original.

The amplifier it’s with is a late 60’s or early 70’s silver-face Super Reverb without the master volume. They’re not real desirable but it’s been what you call "black-faced." I had a guy change the circuitry in it back like the old amplifiers. It sounds pretty good. It’s a nice one to have as a spare. That’s the amplifier I had that I cut "Ain’t That a Bitch" with.

I went out to Memphis and they’ve got all this cool voodoo stuff. I became obsessed with all these little devil guys they had on stickers and whatnot. I actually bought that in Dallas at a place around Fair Park. I’ve been told that I have the temper and the hairstyle to match, and of course the goatee, and I have been known to smoke an occasional cigar. So that’s me when I’m really pissed

That one's a 64’ Super. The blue one was my workhorse before and I wasn’t pleased with the way it sounded. It’s a regular Japanese rock and roll Strat, but I just recently replaced the pickups. A friend of mine gave me Japanese reissue pickups that are real desirable to me. The Japanese are real careful to make it exactly like the old ones; the same number of wraps and everything. I had a friend of mine give me those 3 pickups that are in it out of a reissue just like the white one and it sounds a lot better.  I like the Japanese reissue pickups. Man, they wrap those things the exact number of times and make them just like the old vintage Strats, so I trust that and they sound great. You get that cool Strat sound.

That guitar is an early 90’s Joe Pass Epiphone. They’re not particularly expensive but it has a great tone. I’ve rewired the pickups out of phase where I can get a T-bone Walker-type, dripping tone out of it. It’s sitting in front of a reissue Fender Bassman and on the left is a Kendrick reverb unit. I use those in conjunction .You get a nice tone out of them. That particular guitar I used to cut "Two Dollar Woman."

That’s the 62 reissue Tele that I played the crap out of it It’s got a cool tone. I get the Albert Collins tone with it I used that guitar to cut "Ain’t That A Bitch." It was running through that late 60’s silver-face amp. It’s the Tele with the reverb unit in it.
