Bryan Galloup is an industry leader in the restoration of vintage electric and acoustic guitars. The Galloup Guitars shop is sought after by museums, collectors and players to restore priceless fretted instruments. The work ranges from delicate maintenance of pre-war Martins and Gibsons to the recovery of vintage electrics requiring invisible finish repairs that mimic conditions caused by age and wear. Bryan has introduced tools and techniques that have become staples of the lutherie field.
Publications and organizations that have featured Bryan's work include Guitar Player Magazine, Bass Player Magazine, Guitarmaker Magazine, Vintage Gallery and The Guild of American Luthiers. Bryan was included among the luthiers featured in Acoustic Guitar Magazine's March 2007 story on custom guitars. He is a board member of The Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans. Bryan's handcrafted instruments are testaments to his commitment to excellence and uncompromising attention to detail. All Galloup Guitars are hand crafted, concert quality instruments that demonstrate Bryan's deep knowledge of the guitar and its evolution.
