"Mack Bailey is an entertainer beyond compare.  He has graciously given his time and talent to helping raise countless dollars for charities harbored by his inspiration, John Denver, as well as those of his own passion.  He is a true gift to the world of music."

 "M'Nzanga" - The Making and Adoption of Mack's New Guitar

 

       

Mack's new custom-styled guitar was hand-made to Mack's specifications by David Holmes of Holmes Guitars.  The Grand Auditorium Cutaway is constructed of European Flamed Curly Maple back and sides with Alaskan Sitka Spruce top.  Paua abalone inlay highlights the rosette and treble clef in the fingerboard at the twelfth fret, and European Swiss Pear binding outlines the top and back. A Fishman Ellipse Matrix under saddle and microphone blend pickup captures all the power and subtle nuances of Mack's clean guitar style. 

 

     

On March 23rd, Mack took possession of his new custom styled guitar from Dave Holmes.  Mack named his new guitar "M'Nzanga" which means "my friend."

 

NEWS UPDATE:  March 15, 2008

 

It is with great sadness that Mack has learned of the passing of Dave Holmes on Thursday, March 13, after his brave battle with a brain tumor.  Mack and Rachel as well as friends who knew Dave offer his family their heartfelt condolences.   Mack loves the guitar that Dave custom made for him and will treasure it along with his memory.
