Dan Erlewine & Bryan Galloup
In the early 70’s Dan Erlewine built custom guitars for iconic guitarists 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 great thing about hanging out with Dan is you never know what he is going to haul out of a dusty case to show off.
.
After shooting another Trade Secrets video (By the way, are you subscribed to our YouTube channel?) He shows off not 1 but 2 mid 50's vintage Gibson Les Pauls. 🤯 .
He also shows a tip for how to get these old guitars to play in tune better.

Visit Dan's shop with me! If you've been wondering what monsterfret has been up to, here's your answer. 🎶🧰🛠️
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
Meet Dan’s new shop apprentice, Elyse. She's an OU senior majoring in sociology.
.
After working for a year at Blue Eagle – a local Athen’s music store & vintage guitar institution – learning basic setups and working the counter she got bit (like so many of us do) by the lutherie bug and decided to make it her career.
.
And, there’s no such thing as starting slow when you’re in Dan’s shop – one of Elyse’s first “setup” jobs was a BIG one — stringing and tuning a 1924 Gibson Style-U Harp Guitar.
.
When Elyse discovered several of the tuning posts had string holes that were too small for the new strings, Dan had her remove the tuners, dismantle them, clamp them in a small vice, and drill a slightly larger hole.
.
Then she de-burred the edges of the posts with Mitchell abrasive cord (it’s like sandpaper on a string.)
.
And, after re-installing the tuner she was able to string it up without a hitch (pun intended).
.
And she even got to learn to use the digital calipers in the process.
.
Let’s give her a round of applause for a job well done and a great start to a long career.

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

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
Did a safe distance hang with this fine fellow this evening for the first time in nearly 3 months. #guitarrepair #danerlewine

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.
