Love to all.
Was in the Gallagher shop a couple days ago and played tapered jumbo that was the most unique sounding guitar I have ever played. They are killing it.
sounds fantastic! perfect G chord indeed...
I'm about to turn 70 and have been playing since 1967 mostly electric but when my daughter commandeered my only acoustic guitar a 1978 Ibanez AW-50 I lost interest as I live in a high-rise and neighbours don't like Marshall amps shaking their walls. Then I saw your Epiphone inspired by Gibson video and went straight out and purchased an Epiphone Hummingbird got it set up by my favourite tech Leo and I was in Heaven. Then I went mad again and purchased a Sigma GJA-SG200 Grand Jumbo Acoustic and have been playing my callouses down to my fingertips. You've been such an inspiration JP my electrics are packed away gathering dust while my acoustics are hangin' on the wall waiting to be played every day.
What an awesome way to kick off 2023! Love the guitar it sounds amazing.
Sold me! awesome interview, I respect "straight shooters"! Rave on lads.
Love the tone and sparkle! Gallagher builds them right!👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I always look forward to these review videos! Thanks for bringing the great content. You're responsible for me ALMOST buying thousands of dollars worth of guitars
"Dear John" ... Just Luvvv that Song ! Anyways... Happy New Year 2023 to You and Yours... Bring on this years reviews and presentations ... Always enjoyable and rewarding to view and hear your opinions... Thanks Chris...🤠...
Epic guitar from an epic builder with an epic legacy in the hands of an epic player . . . Absolutely Epic!
Happy New Year JP from Headland, Alabama! I sure wish you'd come back to Bama and spend a winter! You and I could be pickin' on the porch in T-shirts, shorts and flip-flops! I learned something new today too. Jim Hurst was a Truck Driver? So is this Jim! I take my B-Bender Telecaster with me Coast to Coast! In fact I was in Nashville just last night, hanging out at the Music City Bar and Grill and my good friends "The Music City Playboys"!!! Roll on 18 Wheeler!
Happy New Year JP ! Always worth staying to the end.
Beauty JP! Sounds wicked.. Thanks for the great review.. 😊🎶🎶
Love the reviews👏👏👏
I had no idea you played with the Sullivan Family! I used to travel with them occasionally back in the 70's. I had great affection for Enoch Sullivan and all of them. Enoch was very gracious with me. I was just getting into bluegrass at the time, and fell in love with them. I was able to meet Bill Monroe, and many others through them. I was very surprised to hear you played with them! Now to find the videos!
Happy New Year to you and all the Gang!! great guitar
Total excellence of chomping at the bit to deliver, the leaping of the notes under your hand, the thing magic projection canon. It's an INSTRUMENT to play the living crap out of ringing like a bell. Massive sound profile, plays like a dream beast.
Great show JP
Always enjoy your guitar reviews . . .
What an interesting take on a review . Thank you so much .
i luv-luv these little films, so great
first video sets the bar very high . . . that's cool with Jim saying he's got two and this one's for you . . . its cool knowing Boucher in the north and Gallagher continuing the tradition of the classic AMerican steel string guitar that Martin / Gibson, then Taylor started + added (pours a shot on the ground) and then dropped the torch but hopeful the luthiers you mentioned . . .
Beautiful guitar!
Eagerly await JP's reviews of guitars because I know they will be honest. My only problem is that he reviews a lot of expensive boutique guitars that I will never be able to afford but I guess there are players out there with deep pockets. But he does get down to my affordable level at times and thanks to him I have purchased a Yamaha LL-TA and LL6, and an Alvarez MD70BG, all great guitars. Keep 'em coming!!!
You gotta save up. Even 20 bucks a week if you can
It’s definitely worth saving, if u traded all those cheap guitars that you bought and and saved or financed another 500-1k u could probably get a great Martin( maybe 15 series all solid wood made in US), or Larivee or even a used Boucher.
@@angelg8445 I bought my first and only Martin 000-MMV when I was 19 on credit and paid it off in a few months because I had no bills. Hoping to have many years with it
@@crawdadwatson thats great brother! I got my Martin Custom Shop used after trading in a Larrivee parlor(great guitar but too small) and an Eastman(good guitar too but didn't meet my needs) and I love it!
The way you describe the guitar beautifully as "Just chompin' at the bit to deliver" makes it sound like a thoroughbred ... Yeehaw !
Wonderful tone on that Gallagher guitar!
Ironically what you have described was very similar to my visit with David this past June. He gave us a tour of the shop and allowed us to play the guitars on display. There was one G45s that called to me. It had a small defect, but that did not matter to me, I took it home. Lately I have been playing my Boucher Studio Goose, but I need to wake up The Gallager and give it some love again. Wishing you and Ginger a Happy New Year along with David Mathis. Ralph!
Damn you rock those glasses John!
Very very sweet instrument!
It has a “ nut saddle “ 😂. Good stuff J.P. You made my day. Couldn’t stop laughing for a few minutes. 👍
Sounds an amazing guitar
JP said that you would be surprised ,or something to that effect, about how many great guitar players are living in and around you, well JP Cormier is someone who is in my backyard, so he was so right!. Just like listening to an old friend.
nice one dude..
The burst on that flat top looks just killer. JP - thank you for the explanation on the recording, nice to know how it's done. I'm saving for one of Robin's beauties, but once that's been done, perhaps a Gallagher 🤔 might look real nice beside her
For JP, I think someone is trying to impersonate you to scam me. Look at the reply to my comment ~ I'm sure that is not you.
Just an FYI.
PS - I'm practicing the scales & other routines from lesson 4, looks a lot easier when you play them - lol, that E scale is tricky 😆
Nice... regards JP.
Nice Lows highs and mids on that guitar imagine what it will sound like when it begins to open up absolute Monster !!
John, that was nice description on how you address the shoehorning of the sound into the video stream around 9:20. With that in mind can you comment on the "relative loudness" in the room with respect to other guitars and/or a rating such as moderate, loud, very loud, top 10% of loudness?
Jim Hurst and David Mathis are two class acts! I look forward to meeting you at Don Gallagher Day!!!
A G1bson J45 killer!. Beautiful sounding guitar, and as usual, great playing JP.
The "nut saddle" part had me laughing my head off lol
J. P.
My name is Ross Goodrich and I have the Jim Hurst Signature model #6. I really enjoyed your review on UA-cam. And the sunburst was a visual surprise as I’ve only seen the natural finishes before. I’m wondering what number your guitar is? Jim told me originally they( Don/ Steven) we’re going to build 25 signature models, I wonder if the new owners plan to build more? Anyhoo I think you presented that review in a very truthful and honest way and anyone who might be considering purchasing that guitar should feel much better about moving forward towards owning one.
Live Well
Ross
I would surely like to get my hands on a Gallagher. Seen a few, never played one....
John, enjoy your channel immensely. Ever do any reviews on Takamine guitars?
I heard that nut saddles were made from Brazil nuts, but due to CITES the nuts are now sourced from east India, LOL. Seriously though, what a fantastic guitar, thanks for sharing. Happy new year, John,
I have 22 guitars ranging from Morton to Taylors guild but I still go back to this little OM you won’t believe it blue ridge this guitar has inspired me to play longer and play precise it is priceless I got this guitar two years ago from a place in Crescent city I traded a banjo for it one of the best investments I made if you heard this guitar it sounds like your guitar that you’re playing now such a great sound projection unbelievable and it’s Spruce top mahogany back and sides mahogany neck but it is priceless the sound just projects in just wanted to share
Thanks for the great info - could you share what model the mic you are using is ??
Wouldn’t have been a terrible thing to hear Dave talk a little about how the specs were arrived at.
Claire Lynch has a couple of "Gals" from her many years on the road. I would think, as Jim has been her sideman off and on for what ? 15 years or more, that she might enjoy this model for her upcoming 70th birthday. Whatcha think, JP ?
Here is an idea. You were asking for ideas for a Gibson to review. Get a Standard J45. You can compare with the Gallagher and the Texan. A 3 ways battle!!! 😁
Love your Videos how can I order a Boucher guitar?
What type of pick do you use J.P. and what thickness I'd guess 1.5? Sounds great!!
JP, could you review the Seagull line of guitars
I’ve only played one guitar that played like that. It wa not mine. Still looking for one.
How did you get that huge crack on the top?
JP Please understand that we love what you are doing with guitars and gallagher particularly, here comes the but. WE can hear the tone of the guitar much better if you slow down. the notes are just running together when they need to live thanks you
Nice guitar, shame about the finish checking. Wondering if there is a way to remedy that problem?
1 3/4 or 1 7/8?
OMG..(picks up face from floor)
Love a boomy bottom E.
Is it vulgar to ask what these Gallaghers are priced at?
around $5,500 for signature model.
ua-cam.com/video/BHxp1XCiyqg/v-deo.html You definitely nailed it. If I'm asked to pink one from two tickets, one to your gig, one to Paul McCartney's, I would go with yours.
Sounds great but the finish looks bad where to top of the bridge meets the body treble side. If your going to spend $5,000 on a guitar it needs to be perfect. These boutique guitars loose a lot of value after the first purchase. It's more for folks with deep pockets.
Did you notice that too? Looks like glue or something.
@@teleguy5699 yes and if you can notice it in a UA-cam then it is definitely there. I know from personal experience the hardest part of finishing a guitar is right around the bridge.. besides that the only way to purchase a guitar as with a 10-day return policy. Unless of course it is used which is always a good option so you don't lose so much on the resale.
@@juice_williams That's why I didn't buy a Martin model. They said it would be a special order so no returns. I'm out with that caveat. I'm a lefty.
@@teleguy5699 Sweetwater has quite a few Martin models available in the left-hand variant and a hassle free return policy,. Other than that then that you could always find a used model that's for sale in state, that way you could drive and try it out first.
@@juice_williams You are right. I love Sweetwater, but the model I was looking for they told me it was a special order and would take months to get and it was not returnable. I bought a Taylor from them and I am happy with it. I have no baseline for Acoustics, and J.P. tried to help me, but his suggestions had no lefties in the size I wanted. I talked to Gallagher today and they make lefties so in the future, they will be on my short list of upgradable guitar makers. They do sound beautiful on YT at least. Thanks for the advise.
Super guitar salesman let me guess.. This Guitar is far superior to any Martin guitar
