    Thanks for the tour. Glad Gallagher guitars are back and going strong.
  • @jhendricks02
    Beautiful guitar. Great town, too. I grew up in Murfreesboro.
  • @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!!
  • Those guitars sound great. It's nice to see an owner, who can actually play a guitar, too. Beautiful instruments.
  • @johnmcrae3221
    That was absolutely extraordinary. They may get a lot of attention from your video. I love what they are doing!

    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.
  • @roberthatch5031
    Thank you for this video! What a gracious gentleman with a lot of love and passion. Beautiful instruments. God bless!
  • @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!
  • @pecosnick45
    One of my dream guitars. Huge Doc Watson fan.
  • @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.

    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!
  • @soniah4821
    Amazing detail about getting the right sound. Saw dust and coffee grinds to determine pattern vibrations? Incredible.
  • @TN-D18
    Nice tour. I’m fortunate to have two.
  • @joemcgraw5529
    Nice Video Jeremy ,Great to see all the hand made original tools and ofcourse the beautiful sounding and looking guitars
  • 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.
  • @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
  • 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…
