From Galloup’s private wood collection to a finished Acousonix Frequency Hammer.

Each hammer is carefully crafted from selected tonewood, bringing together traditional woodworking and the precision behind Acousonix tools. Then, it’s put to work helping luthiers listen to and understand what the wood is telling them.

Built by hand. Built for lutherie.

Because I’m bad at posting here are some of guitars I got to work on during my time at Galloup. I decided to go back to school last summer. I miss all the great people that work there. And aftermath of me falling through the ceiling.

Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.

I’m so grateful for the people that have made me into the man I am today. Looking back at 10 “new” years has reminded me of all the great things and all the hard learned lessons.

I’ve been a total butthead at many points over the last decade, but Jesus has shown me kindness and mercy at every turn as my family and I wade through this life.

I hope reflecting on the last decade of your life brings you as much joy as it’s brought me.

This G6.C, by the incredible @galloupguitars, was made with Cedar and Koa. It’s details kept us and visitors of the previous enTour captivated, and it’s tone proved why Bryan is a wizard when it comes to perfectly voicing tonewoods.
