Tone to inspire for a lifetime
My career has been dedicated to understanding quality musical instruments and their role with delivering a world-class performance. This is the single driving force behind every guitar I make.
-Bryan Galloup-
Bryan is at the top of the heap right now in terms of classifying and building with the best woods in a manner that uses technology to achieve consistency.

G.2c
Grand Concert
A full body Grand Concert with emphasis on power and deep fundamentals; this is just an all around great guitar.
The top end has a bell quality and some insane overtones; Bryan’s guitars has a rare quality of natural reverb that fills the room.
Magic. Pure magic. Bryan Galloup manages to mix bell-like trebles with a crisp midrange, throw in a powerful bass, and stir to perfection.
This G.2c is what I would think of when someone asks, “What’s one guitar that can do it all?”

Tone Wood Selections
My Tone Wood Library is one of the most prestigious private collections in the world. The bulk of my tone woods are decades old with many woods reaching vintage or even antique status. Each set is separated into three categories: Master Grade for their baseline quality that is used for all standard builds. Reserve Grade for woods that meet an elevated level of sonic qualities and ultimately my Private Stock Collection that delivers only the highest standards for tone, response, rarity and beauty.
Dynamic Voicing™
It was in 2015 when I made guitar number #1501 that I achieved my ultimate goal for tone, response and reliability. This was the birth of the modern Galloup Guitar sound and I knew I could reproduce it every time. These goals were made possible through the development of my Dynamic Instrument Making System™ and Sonic Wood Management™ Software. This patent pending process assists in producing musical instruments with incredible sonic accuracy.
Commissions
In the United States we are represented by Paul Heumiller at Dream Guitars. I reserve up to four guitars a year for trade shows and guitar showcases with the majority of my yearly production crafted from my Reserve Grade or Private Stock tone wood supply. If an in-house order were accepted, a non-refundable deposit based on the final commissioned price may be required with the balance due 30 days before shipping or delivery. The current wait list is 24 to 36 months and our building process is not expedited under any circumstances. Quoted prices do not include shipping, duties, insurance, taxes, import/export regulations or custom flight cases.
