Acoustic Guitars Electric Guitars Fret Work Refinishing


Our Repair Service has a long history dating back to 1967, when Dan Erlewine founded the shop as The Guitar Hospital. Bryan apprenticed with Dan, and in 1984 became the owner of the business. Building on what he learned from Dan, Bryan’s repair work has expanded to include expert restoration.

Today we are a full service repair and restoration shop, performing museum quality work on priceless fretted instruments as well as everyday repairs for working musicians.
Galloup Guitars is an acoustic repairs specialist. Over the past thirty years Bryan has performed every repair possible (and some impossible!) on every style of acoustic guitar. In many of the toughest cases, Bryan has developed new techniques and tools that have since become widely used in the world of guitar repair.
