Galloup Guitars has been a cornerstone of the lutherie world since 1986, when founder Bryan Galloup purchased Dan Erlewine’s legendary Guitar Hospital and expanded it into a full-service guitar facility. Located in Big Rapids, the shop has earned an international reputation for meticulous vintage guitar restoration and custom boutique instrument builds that rank among the finest concert-level guitars available today.

The repair facility features cutting-edge technology including PLEK, CNC, and laser systems, allowing their skilled luthiers to handle everything from routine guitar setup and fretwork to complex structural repairs on valuable vintage instruments. Bryan Galloup’s proprietary Acousonix‚¢ tone wood rating system demonstrates the shop’s commitment to the science of sound and advanced instrument repair techniques.

Beyond exceptional guitar repair services, Galloup operates a renowned school of lutherie, training the next generation of guitar techs and luthiers in traditional craftsmanship merged with modern technology. The combination of world-class repair work, custom instrument building, and dedication to preserving the art of lutherie makes Galloup Guitars a destination for serious players and collectors seeking expert-level instrument care.
