Gallagher Guitars is making guitars to grow old with.

4:08 Incredible vision; even better engineering!

[@tinman8518]

Thanks for the tour. Glad Gallagher guitars are back and going strong.

Earlier in the summer, a friend of mine invited me to perform for a fundraiser for WMTS (MTSU Radio). They were using Gallagher Guitars as one of the venues, and I got to perform there with one of their G-45's (D-18-style). David also kindly showed us around the shop. One of my favorite experiences playing music, and they build a mean guitar.

My son is starting MTSU music program in the fall. Heckuva guitar player ..biased dad, but he killed the audition, so there's that!

[@jhendricks02]

Beautiful guitar. Great town, too. I grew up in Murfreesboro.

[@johnmcrae3221]

That was absolutely extraordinary. They may get a lot of attention from your video. I love what they are doing!

[@bluesingmusic3443]

Those guitars sound great. It's nice to see an owner, who can actually play a guitar, too. Beautiful instruments.

[@roberthatch5031]

Thank you for this video! What a gracious gentleman with a lot of love and passion. Beautiful instruments. God bless!

[@pecosnick45]

One of my dream guitars. Huge Doc Watson fan.

[@troytaylor9228]

I said to myself the other day that when and if I buy a used Martin I want to buy it from Jeremy Sheppard! Now you got me looking at Gallagher as well!! I'm going to need another room for my guitars here soon!!

[@TN-D18]

Nice tour. I’m fortunate to have two.

[@rogerd9150]

Watching that was very moving to see the obvious love those folks have for building guitars. Even if I could buy one of these I am afraid I wouldn't deserve it. Love the video Jeremy. Thank you for posting.

[@joemcgraw5529]

Nice Video Jeremy ,Great to see all the hand made original tools and ofcourse the beautiful sounding and looking guitars

[@kentowens2179]

That Austin is a fine fiddle player as well! I like his fiddlin' a lot! Great guitars, glad to see them making them again!

[@soniah4821]

Amazing detail about getting the right sound. Saw dust and coffee grinds to determine pattern vibrations? Incredible.

[@3GCMusic]

Solid content! What a cool shop tour!

I have a wonderful guitar collection but there was one hole that I've been waiting to fill, taking my time over several years, I turned over every stone in the hunt for a "boutique built" acoustic, enjoying every moment of the search. I'd certainly heard of Gallagher but am not a country or bluegrass player and that seemed to be the company's niche. Still, I believe that a guitar is a guitar and a well-built "bluegrass guitar" would be no different than any other well-built guitar...it can be many things depending upon who's driving. In the spring of this year, I checked-in with one of my favorite shops, the Fretted Buffalo, in Buffalo, New York, a brand new Gallagher dealer and a shop that carries eleven of the best brands in the business. I never played the guitar but purchased an Appalachian over sinker SG-50, a round shouldered, 25 1/2" scale design with an enlarged soundhole. I don't typically put too much emphasis on video sound clips, but since I'd chosen a guitar that I wouldn't be able to first play, I went by the spec's, intuition, and the shop's videos of not only the SG-50, but a couple of other guitars I'd been interested in for a long time. There was a distinct difference (and many nuances that had the guitar winning my little shootout). I pulled the trigger and, after having the guitar for a few months, am completely enamored with its build, playability, and tone. What a guitar! To anyone considering the purchase of an expensive guitar built by a smaller (boutique) company, I strongly urge you to look at Gallagher as a top-tier option that can go toe-to-toe with the likes of Collings, Bourgeois. SCGC, Lowden, Boucher, and others too many to list. For me personally, my new SG-50 is the best all-around performer that I own or have ever played. And it's pure eye candy! Thank you for putting together such an insightful and well thought-out video of your new digs in Murfreesboro. I'm sure that I'll eventually get around to visiting and look forward to that day!

[@jamesdellinger6704]

I own a doc Watson and it’s the best dreadnught I have ever played

[@JubileeValence]

Thumbnail portrayed Wartrace build. So I clicked on it. And thumbs up. Cheers! ------- Edit: 12:30 Sapele. The G-50 on the website has the unmistakable 'ribbony' sapele. Topped with cedar or spruce, sapele fires the sound right back out at you. Hard.

[@RoxPunoOfficial]

thank you for hunting this! really good guitars

[@johnjackson1270]

My hometown!!! Thanks for shining the light on the 'boro!

[@angelg8445]

Beautiful guitars, and jam at the end there.!

[@troytaylor9228]

That GA60 is to die for! Love it!

[@bradc32]

that GA60 sounded great!!! i love my ol gallagherDW

[@ThePonDePon]

I love it when the video is just some old guy passionately discussing his craft, I caught myself with a huge smile at the beginning of the video cause I knew that's what I was in for Edit: after about a year of consideration i have decided I wanna be a luthier now

[@JeremySheppard]

Yes! Let me know how it goes and send me pictures!

[@texhaines9957]

That GA 60 sounds great. Wonder what the neck profile is like? Or do they change?

[@ACOUSTIC_4LOVE]

Good to see the Gallagher Guitars still being crafted👍

[@ZandvlietGuitarCompany]

Cool video! 7:58 now I know why my guitar has that stripe (that we talked about in your Instagram live) There was a knot in the wood where (I think) water seeped in, and that stained the wood.

[@sustainablelife1st]

holy hell, you are giving me seizers swinging that camera around man.

[@johnhiscutt1853]

Fantastic Guitars great Tone👍

[@onixtheone]

That GA70 is the one i want so bad!!! But then the GA60 rings like a piano! What to choose

[@TheGuitarsquatch]

Hey Jeremy, what happened to your Zager video? I've found myself in a battle with them again, and I tried to rewatch your video but it's gone.

[@ronnieparker4393]

Awesome video all around…one of my favorite part is seeing Chris Jones’s guitar…..I’m a bassist but if I were a guitarist..Gallagher would be my guitar…

[@aldenwilkins]

I can smell that room from here.

[@edgarmcbee2474]

Thank you for this video love this maker

[@georgefrench1907]

Interesting tour. Thanks. (Too bad about the audio.)

[@rong648]

It's nice to see them using a ToneRite. I purchase one for my guitars.

[@rosewoodsteel6656]

Nice guitar! I wonder if Gallagher's warranty covers neck re-sets.. As the original owner of a 74 D-35, Martin covered the cost of my neck reset, many years ago. I was shocked and surprised to recently hear that their "Lifetime" warranty no longer does so. So, what manufacturers now cover neck re-sets as a warranty item? My understanding is a neck re-set can cost over $800, so this is a serious concern for players.

[@dylanthomas7443]

Jeremy what exactly went on with the original Gallagher Guitars? Was there not a change of ownership? What exactly is the current situation?

[@JeremySheppard]

A lot of that explanation will be in the longer video for patrons, but the gist of it is this, David found out that Gallagher was closing and he offered to buy them. After purchasing the name and a lot of tools, he moved the shop to Murfreesboro and resumed construction. The quality definitely waned according to them, and now, from my experience, is really good.

[@kingcormack8004]

What about Gurian guitars? Gurian was a premier wood buyer in the US for many years so the guitars he built should be made of some of the choicest woods available at the time.

[@stuco]

This is great.

[@JD.5150]

That GA60! Pure ear candy.

[@Andy_Classic]

That top they said they can't use I will gladly take it 😁

[@Andy_Classic]

What is the song at about the 20 min mark

[@Origen17]

Hey, if you're coming to Franklin, let me know...

[@workcloz]

I have a 2004 Doc Watson Signature model signed by Doc Watson in the soundhole .......

[@JeremySheppard]

Wow!

[@pudseren1]

i love my GA45 12 fret

[@RantzBizGroup]

Ah, the weakness of the dovetail joint...

[@elbowache]

After his shift, Austin punched out, got in his "54 Chevy truck, and drove into the mists of time. Everyone just thought Jeremy was walking around the shop talking to himself.

[@JeremySheppard]

Hahaha

[@Andy-hg8dv]

Bought my Gallagher in 1985. Wouldn’t trade it for any guitar in the world.

[@onusgumboot5565]

I've never heard of Gallagher guitars. The thumbnail doesn't make them look all that good though. "built in 1976 and on its third neck". I have a couple of Gibsons. A '67, and one from the early to mid '70s. They both still have their original necks. And they've had hard lives too. Much abuse from various sources. I couldn't afford to get a new neck every 20 years or so. Maybe they should build a better neck.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

Doc sure grew old with his.

[@dietersdawgs]

Hah....B.S. I made a classical guitar 35 years ago with a "French" curve plain headstock because my initials are R S and the French curve emulates that! lol! Your's looks identical to mine without the initial!

[@davet.3587]

👍❤️

I'm sorry. but the camera work was to bad, I just couldn't watch it through, I started getting sea sick, nice instruments and talented people, but surely, couldn't you get a professional to do the filming and direction ? I had to fast forward, and there was the back of the bloke playing this extrordinary instrument, all I could see was his shirt ! I thought that was weird.

[@JeremySheppard]

My good camera broke right before this video and I had to use one with a smaller sensor and no stabilization so it's a little too zoomed in. Thanks for bearing with me.
