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.”
The Iris Guitar Company DE-11, designed by luthiery legend Dan Erlewine, is an exceptional instrument. Based on his beloved 1937 Kalamazoo KG-11, this acoustic guitar features a 1930s V-shaped neck, smooth banjo tuning machines, and high quality tonewoods. It also has threaded brass inserts in the fingerboard, which allow you to use screw-down capos for even more versatility.

Doug & Sharon`s Excellent Adventure (Episode 11)
STEWMAC!!!
After we finished the Dan & Doug Show, "Live from Ohio!" for theloothgroup, Dan took us over to stewmac_guitar where we had a meeting scheduled.
We met up with Erick Coleman toneschaser to give us a personal tour of everything Stewmac as soon as our meeting was over. We`re going to be working with Stewmac to create some instructional videos in the coming months. Stay tuned for that!
I can not tell you what an incredible visit this was. Stewmac is such a large presence in all of our lives and shops. To be here in the building and see the place where it all comes from was overwhelming.
Here are the details:
Slide 1: Stewmac!!!
Slide 2: Sharon and Erick Coleman toneschaser
Slide 3: What a pleasure it was to meet with Brock Poling luthiersworkbench, the VP of Marketing for Stewmac, and a fantastic luthier.
Slide 4: Susan Hilvert susan_so_far was a complete joy to meet and talk with. We`re really looking forward to working with Brock and Susan in the coming months to do some instructional videos for Stewmac.
Slide 5: The VAULT!
Slide 6: Walking around the building, you really get the sense that it`s all about guitars and those that live in the looth!
Slide 7: In the Stewmac video studio. We`ve seen this background a gazillion times, but to be standing in it was a hoot!
Slide 8: As you walk through the building, there are quite a few areas that make you realize that, ultimately, it`s about making music!
Slide 9: After our meeting and the facility tour, we met up with Paul Lampley only.frets for dinner.
Slide 10: Dinner at The Texas Roadhouse! (left to right)

Doug & Sharon`s Excellent Adventure (Episode 9)
The folks in Dan`s orbit are incredible.
Many of these people we`ve met through the theloothgroup loothalong or on IG, but finally meeting them in person was a delight beyond description.
Here are the details:
Slide 1: Mike Brauer komboking1 - I can`t begin to tell you what a joy it was to finally spend time with Mike! Mike is what I call a "Master-Tinkerer". Mike heard from Dan that we were in town and drove 3 hours to surprise us. To say it qualified as a highlight of our trip is an understatement.
Slide 2: Mike and me.
Slide 3: Dan and I marveling at a piece of Mike`s 3-D printed wizardry
Slide 4: Ceil ceilsguitarsandthings - Ceil is incredible! You`ve seen her featured in Vintage Guitar Magazine. She`s Dan`s apprentice. She`s off to galloup_school next. This young looth is going to be lethal in this biz if she decides to pursue a career in loothing!
Slide 5: Blake Burkholder _zepplinfan_ is an amazing looth. He works in Dan`s shop. I played an archtop he built while I was there and was unbelievably impressed. I can tell you, if it was a 7-string, we would have left Ohio that much poorer - it was that good a guitar!
Slide 6: Elyse M. Kautz eemkautzz - Elyse works in Dan`s shop as well and is a former apprentice of Dan`s. What a joy it was to meet Elyse! She`s setting up her own shop and making her way in the looth! She`s got peeps on the east coast and has promised to visit us when she gets back east!
Slide 7: Ceil, T.K. and Dan hangin` by some pretty impressive hardware. Ceil is learning how to turn big pieces of metal into little pieces of metal from T.K.
Slide 8: Ceil at the bench
Slide 9: Naturally, they put Sharon aka "The Crack Queen" to work.😉
Slide 10: At the end of our first day in Athens we went to dinner with Dan, Joan Erlewine 123joan, Erick Coleman toneschaser and Missy Pence athensmissy - just about as much fun as any human beings should be allowed to have! Getting to know these people was an indescribable joy.
Next up in Episode 10, I`ll show you some neat stuff I found poking around Dan`s shop!
Stay tuned!

Doug & Sharon`s Excellent Adventure (Episode 8)
Dan`s Shop! monsterfret
Being at Dan Erlewine`s shop in Athens, Ohio, for three days was the stuff dreams are made of for me.
There is no one I respect and admire more in this business than this man. In addition to that, there is probably nobody who has done as much as he has to promote, teach, and further this craft.
To have learned from him - from afar - through his Guitar Player magazine articles back in the day, then through his books, G.A.L./A.S.I.A conventions - never did I think I`d be hanging out in his shop like this back when I was a young looth just starting out.
Over the years, Dan and I got to know one another, and through our mutual involvement with companies like totalvise and our association with Ian Davlin`s theloothgroup, we`ve become dear friends.
Dan and I do a once-a-month show for theloothgroup, and to have done it live from Dan`s shop was so much fun.
Most of these pictures were taken during the show.
Here are the details:
1: The Man, standing at the entrance to his shop!
2: Dan and I, getting ready to tape the show. He`s wearing the shop apron I bought him for his birthday last year. You can tell his is newer than mine.🙃
3: Dale, Sharon and me in the shop. I`m holding a bass that he built and was showing off during the episode.
4: Dan`s signing my personal copy of the Guitar Player Repair Guide. I bought the book the first month it was published back in 1990.
5: Me signing Dan`s "Proper`s Guitar Workstation"
6: I`m presenting Dan with one of my Variable Radius Sanders that I made for him.
7: Dan and I poking through some of his drawers.
8: The famous bandsaw with signatures from all of the luthiers that have visited Dan`s shop.
9: Sharon`s signing the bandsaw.
10. Our signatures on the bandsaw. A "yes, we were here!" moment for sure!
Next up in Episode 9, more fun from Dan`s shop and the people we hung out with!
Stay tuned!

I would say that’s good enough. Digital string height gauge is not just for the measuring string height at the nut. Take a measurement, add/subtract what is needed to reach 4/64 (.0625) and then adjust the Strat saddle height and watch it dial right into the measurement you want. Details are: Capo on 1st, measuring at 17th per Dan Erlewine’s book. Up until today I was using the printed string height gauge and/or feeler gauges. Takes a bit longer but I think I prefer a bit more time in order to dial it in. It might be overkill though. Have any of you measured it this way? If not, what is your preferred way to measure? #guitar #guitarrepair #guitarsetups #guitarsofinstagram #guitarist #guitarplayer #fender# fenderstrat #stratocaster #stratocasterguitars #stratsetups #danerlewine
@monsterfret #danerlewine made a handful of #lucy from the very same wood he used for #albertking . I am so glad you have one of them. Some guitars are truly special and so are you brother.

Isn`t everything about this just awesome?...

Don`t you love the aging of the switch tip, the patina on the metal and the checking in the finish.

Time does a wonderful thing to instruments -- not only the way the sound, but the way they look too. .

ギター端材で作るミニチュア Albert King “Lucy” (Dan Erlewine & Tom Holmes)
ギタマガをみて前から気になっていたブルースの巨匠の一人、アルバート・キングのフライングVやってみよう。
1971年にダン・アールワインによって製作されたものとのことです。
私が初めてこれを見たのは1980年のPlayer THE GUITAR2で、Vなのに渋いのがすごく好きでした。指板の名前はいらんけど。
私のリアル自作フライングVはなんとなくこれをイメージしています。
もうひとつは、前にレイヴォーンのトムホームズのミニを作りましたが、これもビ
リーギボンズからプレゼントされたというTom Holms製Lucy。どっちも指板に名前かよ。
日本では持ち物に名前書くのは小学生までです。😁 余談ですが、トムホームズのZZ TOPのビリーギボンズモデルはフジゲン製だね。
