Dan Erlewine & Bryan Galloup
In the early 70’s Dan Erlewine built custom guitars for iconic guitarist that molded the sound of American pop culture. These one of a kind instruments were made to the specifications of the performers that was unique in style and sound.
Decades later Bryan Galloup joined Dan in his shop as an apprentice and together they continued building and repairing guitars in the Erlewine tradition.
Now three decades later, Dan and Bryan have re-teamed to reproduce two of these iconic instruments, the Albert King “V” and the Jerry Garcia Stratishcaster. All tone woods are sonically tested through Bryan’s patented Instrument Making Software™ to ensure these instruments not only look the same, the player will experience the same feel, weight and response of the original instruments.”

I was gonna go outside and make a guitar shaped snowman but that almost feels like work.
Thanks mother nature!😊

The irisguitar DE-11 Dan Erlewine signature model is something truly unique…Dan’s first signature guitar, based on his beloved 1937 Kalamazoo KG-11, features a 1930s V-shaped neck, Rickard rear-mount banjo tuning machines, an Adirondack spruce top, a satin finish, as well as Honduran mahogany back, sides, and neck. Most intriguing, its neck extends past the nut before transitioning into the ears of the peghead, and threaded brass inserts in the fingerboard accept screw-down capos. We have two of these amazing guitars newly in stock!

#tbt de 2008 workshop do luthier Dan Erlewine, na Galloup Guitars, Michigan. Dias cheios de valiosas dicas, desde colagem de headstock e cavaletes de violões Gibson, restauros em nitrocelulose, instrumentos vintage, setups e histórias de astros da guitarra, como Buddy Guy, B.B King, Albert King, e muitas outras coisas.
Nessa ocasião me lembro de ver o Dan citar um determinado instrumento antigo, e logo em seguida ver Bryan ir correndo pegar um exemplar de sua coleção no armazém da escola. Um verdadeiro show de “mostra e conta”, inclusive um dos momentos mais marcantes foi quando um aluno ofereceu sua stratocaster reedição anos 50, para comparar a elétrica a uma strat original 1957 do Bryan, em condição impecável.

TBT from 2008 with Dan Erlewine´s workshop at Galloup Guitars, Michigan. Days full of guitar repair tricks, how to fix Gibson acoustic headstocks and loose bridges, nitrocellulose restoring, vintage guitar talks, Buddy Guy, B.B King and Albert King setup secrets and some funny stories about them.
I also remember Dan mentioning an instrument, and soon after Bryan would show up with that particular guitar from his private collection to demonstrate to students. A real show and tell kind of thing. One of the coolest moments was seeing a really nice condition 1957 stratocaster, that was used for comparison with a reissue model.
What a handful of great guitar people.

A Special Event Sunday 3pm!! Ian Davlin ianhatesguitars will be hosting the one and only Dan Erlewine monsterfret to talk about the greatest contraption known to the fretting universe! The Neck Jig! Dan invented the neck jig decades ago and it changed the world of fretting forever.
I've been a neck jigger for more than 30 years and I gotta tell you, I'm excited about this one. Dan's going to be covering the what, why and how of the jig and it's history. Scroll through the pictures to see some of the versions of the neck jig we've use over the years and some fun we've had with the greatest mousetrap ever created!
How can you participate? Easy, join Ian's IHG patreon group at ianhatesguitars.com to get in on the fun. Ian's group of wayward luthiers is a fantastic platform to get to know other looths, learn from one another about the craft and connect with luthierians from all over the planet. The greatest part is the "Loothalong" where twice a week you can work in your shop with dozens of other luthiers, learn from one another, ask questions, talk shop and get advice. Just this afternoon while working in my touch-up room I was hanging with Dan and Evan Gluck newyorkguitarrepair talking about jigs, frets, finishing and vises - until the conversation moved to Dan's gourmet fried sandwiches.
For less than the price of the cup of Starbucks you spilled on your bench this morning you could have been hanging out with us. Head over to ianhatesguitars.com or ianhatesguitars to sign up before the big event with Dan tomorrow.
I'll be there and participating. I'll see you there!

People, this is a lot of guitar legends in one room. Also, this is a great crossover between my two passions, Benedettology and Gibson guitarchaeology.
Seen here are luthier godfathers Bob Benedetto, Dan Erlewine and Erick Coleman, inspecting a late 30s L-37. The L-37 can be easily discerned from the L-30 by the amount of sunburst on it, which cost 7$ more back in the day, hence the name.
They were taped and photographed by the wonderful Cindy Benedetto who was so nice to ask about the guitar for me when she saw it on the wall during the Benedetto‘s visit with StewMac in Athens, OH in August.
Erick is looking for a FON or Factory Order Number in the treble f-hole of the guitar to find out about the exact year of manufacturing, which is sometimes tricky because the FON was used by Gibson to keep track of the guitar while being manufactured but not for the customer (or vintage lover 80 years later!) to see.
In another picture Erick measures the guitar (it‘s 14 3/4“ across the lower bout) because Cindy teased these well seasoned professionals since they weren’t able to eyeball the size of the guitar 😅
They obviously had a great and fun time and I’m very grateful to Cindy that she sent me this material and even cropped the photos for me 🤗

Olá, pessoal!
Tem entrevista nova no blog Guitarras Made In BraSil. Desta vez, um bate-papo com o luthier Rodrigo Gomes, responsável pela RGomes Brazilian Archtop (rgomes_rod ). Além de modelos archtop, ele fabrica outros modelos de guitarras, incluindo também contrabaixos, violões, cavaquinhos e ukuleles além de restaurações em instrumentos antigos.
Ao longo da conversa, ele nos contou sobre os motivos que o levaram a se tornar luthier, a experiência de estudar e trabalhar com luthieria nos EUA, o convívio e o aprendizado com a lenda Dan Erlewine (Stewmac), as características necessárias para se fazer um boa archtop, dentre outros assuntos.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I love doing fret work. I especially love re-fretting a guitar you forgot actually used to shred cuz it’s been borderline unplayable for so long. Just lifeless and unenjoyable to play because you loved it too hard for so long… Frets so low you can barely bend strings, lifting/loose frets that kill sustain/tone or deep indents near the nut area from destroying parties with drunken cowboy chord covers.
I’m a fan of the sound a well seated, glued in fret offers vs one that was just hammered or pressed in raw. There is something harmonious that happens after filling every void between fret tang and slot. Here's an excerpt from a Stew-Mac "Trade Secrets" newsletter: "Try this yourself: Glue a fret or two, then tap a bone nut blank on one of them. Listen to the sound. Now tap an unglued fret. The glued frets create a fuller sound that actually vibrates through the neck. You can see how this translates to better overall tone."
Do you think gluing frets makes a difference? Do you prefer to save your glue for sniffing?? What are some good glues I should be sniffing or fretting with? Help me out here, I’m ready to party.

Very excited to receive a fresh set of nut files; they get replaced every few years. stewmac_guitar is about the best thing to happen to guitar repair since Frank Ford and Dan Erlewine discovered screwdrivers when they were four. We’re lucky to have these tools.
But as high quality as these files are, their stated thicknesses are never accurate, so if you’re loothing about make sure to measure yours up before cutting into a nut. These files would otherwise under-size your nut slots, resulting in grabby string slots that cause tuning problems!

Here’s a fun throwback from November of 2002. This was taken after my first one-on-one weekend workshop with Dan. Little did I know at the time, my career path would change within the following year and I’d be moving to Athens. Hard to believe this was almost 19 years ago! #guitarrepair #guitarshop #tbt #stratocaster #stadiumguitar #danerlewine #stewmac #luthier #luthiery
Just found this one on my phone. My Stewmac compadres wrestling the neck off of a ‘42 D-45, with a special Maglite assist by Steve! #guitarrepair #martind45 #1942 #vintageguitar #acousticguitar #martinguitar #stewmac #heystewmac #danerlewine #toddsams #elliotjohnconry
Three decades later, Dan monsterfret and Bryan have re-teamed to reproduce Albert King’s iconic V, “Lucy”. To ensure these instruments not only look and feel the same, Dan used the last of his original Lucy wood to build one for joebonamassa and myself. Very happy to be a part of Dan and Alberts legacy.
