    Hi JP. I was watching a previous video when you mentioned Richard Gulley and played his version of Limerock. Richard is my cousin who I see quite often and yes he is still the guitar player that he was when he won Winfield back in the 80's. That being said his prize for winning Winfield was actually a custom built Gallagher. He plays this guitar as he would have in Winfield and to this day is his go to !! He has many options of Martins and others but he loves his Gallagher. Thanks for your channel and all the advice you give to us all !! You are a incredible guitar player and makes me proud to be Canadian. Cheers Brother.

    J.P. That is one gorgeous guitar, I can see why it was your dream guitar, I also am a big fan of
    Doc Watson, Tony Rice and Dan Kominsky. It is a real jewel, I hope to see it some day, I"ve never
    seen a Gallagher guitar, I would love to see all your guitars. That was a surprising story, goes
    to show what a great person Robin is. That was a very cool story. Stay safe!

    I have a Doc Watson Signature model Serial 3165 purchased directly from Don Gallagher in 2008. Its my Favorite guitar over my HD28 and D42! Its a custom guitar with a diamond fret marker at the third and also a flower pot inlay on the headstock. The original company was a distinct pleasure to deal with. Because there was no dealer in Canada he said to me to find the lowest price I could from any US dealer and he would sell me the guitar directly for same price. No deposit was required and when the guitar was ready he called and told me that the ship day would be a Monday with two day delivery so the guitar would not be caught over the weekend somewhere . It was in December. Thats what I call customer service attention to detail. I have never had any issues with this guitar and I play it daily. Its my go to box! I am very pleased to hear JP you are associated with the NEW Gallagher Company. Good Luck.! Frank Davis St.John's NL

    Well done, I came across to Wartrace from England in 1997. Went to the Gallagher Guitar birthday party. Never forgotten it, met Don and his family and then Steve Rector, but most of all got to see and meet Doc. Finished up buying a Doc Watson model which I still have here in England. Good luck with your G70, all the best, Chris Wilson.

    An old friend of mine who recently passed of cancer had a Gallagher. I think he had to wait over a year to get it after he ordered it. We were both huge Doc Watson fans and went to see him perform in Germantown, Tennessee around 2002. Doc was accompanied by Sam Bush and we sat about 10 feet in front of them in the little orchestra pit. A wonderful memory and an amazing guitar. Congratulations.

    I played a 1986 Doc Signature at Carters in Nashville a few years ago, and I was overcome with emotion after playing it for 20 minutes. The thing just did all the Doc licks the way they should sound! The last one I played though I just couldn’t get my hand to agree with the neck, but it was a 2000s model. I hope the newer stuff really does live up to its name. I’ll have to track one down.

    Preston was amazingly supportive of my wife, Claire Lynch and numerous other members of the Bluegrass community who played at his festivals. He approached Claire, offering to build her whatever she wanted. Long before, Claire had had a 1942 Martin OO-18 she has to flog to pay bills after having a baby sideswipe her touring sched. She thought she wanted one like that lost gem. We went to Gruhn's and Carter's shops and tried most everything they had by way of a OO-18. Then we hung out with Tim O'brien and she played his Martin signature model OO-18. That was the pattern, Claire decided, for her Preston build. When it arrived home in Nashville, Claire loved it but realized that the neck profile was a soft V. Didn't fit her hand. Thompson took it back, threw on a Martin modern style neck and returned it to her. ALL NO CHARGE. Months later Preston succumbed to cancer but not before fulfilling Claire's, and many other artists', dream of an ideal guitar given freely by that master builder. Oh yeah, thank you for "Molly May". It was on her Grammy-nominated "North By South" and is still very much in demand. Look us up next time you're in Hog Town.

    I just saw you with a Gallagher from Wartrace, Tennessee! We had one in my brother's store around 1971. Nice guitars.THAT is how far out front, my late brother, Burt Norton was, in little Tallahassee, Florida. Enjoy that guitar mister. I don't know who you are ... but you know "good" when you see and hear it.
    It would appear the Lord has blessed you a couple times and ways, here ... And congratulations, Sir.
    My very first guitar was a 1954 Stratocaster my dad gave me, Christmas of 1963. July of 1965, it went out the back of my brother's station wagon on the Jacksonville expressway. Lysine for viruses!

During a break I had to approach him and ask the brand of guitar. He proudly stated it was from a small luthier in Tennessee called Gallagher. Best sounding guitar my ears have ever heard, a Gallagher and Boucher are both on my dream list. Envious I am👍

      The company did shutdown in 2018 or 2019. However, new owners bought the company and rehired some of the employees. They also moved production for the small town of Wartrace, TN to a building a block or two off the town square in downtown Murfreesboro, TN. It seems they have been able to recapture the magic of the originals.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Gallagher factory in Wartrace TN in 1999 and Don have me a little tour. It was a blast for a kid from central New Brunswick I must say. I look forward to hearing it again soon.
