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 have 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: A Master Grade for baseline quality, Reserve Grade for woods that meet an elevated level of sonic exultance, and ultimately my Private Stock Collection that delivers only the highest standards for tone, response, rarity, and beauty.

Dynamic Voicing™

In 2015 I made guitar number #1501. It was then 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 but I do reserve up to four guitars a year for trade shows and guitar showcases. The majority of my yearly production are crafted from my Master Grade tone wood stock but Reserve Grade or Private Stock tone wood supply are available by request. 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.

Options

Some details are commonly adjusted but custom appointments are quoted for each individual customer. Options such as cutaways, armrests, and back bevels have a set price while others are based on design elements, materials, and execution. Each guitar features a premium Galloup proprietary green five-ply arched case, trimmed with tooled leather appointments. For touring musicians, I do offer a custom Calton flight cases that are priced separately; pricing my vary depending on time of order.
