GSWJ - Epic Reveal #1! The JP Cormier Signature Model Gallagher! 

You're now immortal.

The thing about all those years dedicated in practice when nobody was looking wondering about the value in what you were doing. Well...an impactful legacy arises acknowledged by kindred spirits.

There will be people playing your guitar in many years to come,now that’s a legacy mr JP…

It sounds like water gently cascading down a rocky mountain creek. Super wicked!! So amazing that they did this for you without you knowing. And you deserve it. And the fact that they dug deep into what you love and what you’ve chosen and put all that knowledge and love and expertise into this guitar for you. Wow… Congratulations my friend. ❤🎉

Your legacy keeps building, because not only are you a virtuoso and treasure of the Western Hemisphere, but because of the way you treat people. Cheers and congratulations

Just wow!!!!Never hear no one play like you!!! Amazing!

One of the only humans I've seen act accordingly to getting his own signature line from a phenom builder. Anyone worth they're salt,......would cry as well. Can't wait to see the vine inlays.

I've only just found your channel in Australia JP and mate I'm a fan. In OZ we believe in honesty, decency and a fair go, and in your reviews I see all of that! To have a relationship to a brand but not be influenced only by that shows great integrity. You signature guitar is a lesson not only in guitar manufacturing and quality, but hard work and commitment by the recipient. Well done old mate, Cheers, Steve

Guitar geeks eveywhere love you.

Congratulations J.P.. Nobody deserves it more. Very cool specs as well. Sounds ridiculous. The top end on that cannon is extremely glassy and beautiful. My teacher was a Taylor artist in 94. He left Taylor for Gallagher. The first guitar he got,......was a 7 string cutaway acoustic. Incredible guitar. He started playing a bluegrass medley that was incredible. Again, J.P.. Congratulations brother.

this damn thing rings like a bell and waterfall in one.. wow

That’s great JP Sounds fantastic well done Gallagher 👍🎸

Cedar top…. Walnut back and side, my dear lord, you lucky devil. Just frigging awesome JP👍👌

What a beauty that is, sounds like it's made for playing fiddle tunes on.

Gallager could have made Jp a garden rake and he could make it sound phenomenal… instead they made the perfect guitar for this amazing musician.

Congrats JP, Great honor to receive your own signature model guitar for the second time. Beautiful guitar, and beautiful sounding guitar.

Bravo mutual respect player and builder, I applaud Gallagher for their excellence and craftsmanship in Guitar building.

Third, listen. Amazing sound, and the resonace is to die for.

Beautiful guitar, beautiful playing, wonderful sound. Well deserved. I had an Avalon with that same wood combination, which I should not have sold. Your guitar has the same dynamic range that I remember from the Avalon: beautifully delicate and fluid when played softly, but very coherent and musical when played loudly.

I’ve played a black walnut guitar for thirty years. Love it’s tone.

Whoa ! What a Beautiful Guitar !! Congratulations !!!

Yes indeed " Totally Awesome " I just might have to order me one, the full range of tonality & a cut away Yep!

That’s a gorgeous guitar. Congratulations JP! Your talent deserves that recognition. I’d buy one……if I had the $$$.

I just picked up my Jim Hurst model from David at Gallagher 2 weeks ago. I can’t put it down. Everything about it is amazing.

took me minute but it sounds like more than one instrument playing, amazing tone

You are so talented. Gallagher Guitars seen quite good.

Congratulations JP, that sounds and looks amazing.

Oh J.P.!

Excellent! Very happy for you! WOW doest that thing sing!!! Cedar / walnut, who'd a thunk it?? And so beautiful.

Well John i just got back from a trip to the east coast. Now i am catching up on some videos. WOW! Really nice guitar!! Congrats I want to say that is a beautiful guitar and even more so the gesture to have a signature model made in your honour. So i am currently in the market for an all solid guitar, my "forever" never need to buy another acoustic guitar. (We guitarists know that will probably never happen) but thats what i tell myself and my wife lol. Anyhow i own many guitars and i play them all but i want a nice all solid wood acoustic that can do everything from cowboy chords to well voiced finger style. However I, like yourself will never own a Martin unless i inherit one, soley for the cost of them. I have been in the market for a while and played everything from Windsor Ontario to St Johns Newfoundland that i could get my hands on. I have come to the sad realization that Boucher Larrivee Gallagher Taylor Martin Their high end solid wood guitars are all in the I cant afford price range which translates to never own. I could never justify paying $5000-6500 plus for a guitar from one of the above mentioned companies. I just dont understand how guitar companies can justfy their asking prices. When did 1500 bucks buy you a decent entry to intermediate level guitar???? Its no wonder there are so many counterfeit and knock off guitars being imported from overseas. Hell the major brands are all made thwre anyways lol. A mass produced epiphone les paul runs 1200+ in canada. I guess us hard working poor folk "middle class" can never be able to own a well made solid wood guitar. Unless we take out a small mortgage loan for years on a payment plan. OR we build our own like Normand Boucher did for his son when he asked for a martin D45. It would be nice as a canadian to have more than one option and be able to buy a solid wood guitar from a canadian builder for under 2000. (Support local) Only thing I have found close was a higher end Norman acoustic now owned and made by Godin. I really liked your prototype guitar sounded amazing and pretty looking. Any idea what the pricing of one of them will look like?

Congratulations on your signature model..🎉👏

Congratulations! The sound is warm, smooth, almost liquid. Beautiful.

Congratulations . You more tan deserve it !!! I have❤ been eyeing the your Boucher Signature Model and now I have another one I have to consider.

Beautiful. What an honour.

Amazing!

Sweet!!

Congrats man!!!

Very nice guitar and some sweet playing. It's nice to hear the notes ring out and I wish you'd play like that more often in stead of 120 miles per hour, a real joy to listen to. Congrats on your new guitar. All the best. : )

Sounds great

Congrats man, well deserved!!

Beautiful!

That's awesome.

Sounds huge!

That is awesome!! I assume you are wearing that hat because of Independence Day?😉 congratulations on working with a legend

Thrilled for you!

Congratulations Sir. Sounds phenomenal and so loud. Theres such a clarity and punch with the sound of the flatpick. I thought initially that it was Adirondack due to the creamy color but I was wrong. Once again, congratulations Sir you are amazing.

Great guitar!

Wow, that’s amazing!!! Congratulations. So happy for you and you are so worth it

Amazing 🤩 you are a blessed man ❤

Congrats JP. Well deserved and it’s a beauty.

Incredible! Very unique sounding! I think I love it!!!

It sounds really great

Congrats buddy, beautiful instrument.😊🎶

You are so much fun

They just get better thanks J P

Congratulations, J.P.! It’s certainly an incredible honor and well-dedicated. A beautiful instrument!

Congrats! Sweet sounding axe! You deserve it! 👍👍😄😄😄😄😄

Congratulations JP on your second signature model! Lovin the tone!

Wow what a great sounding and beautiful guitar.

Sounds amazing and they are great guys at Gallagher

Congrats. You deserve it. You’re an incredible talent, and you’re an incredible Canadian. Simply put, they see what we all see, so it all makes sense. Beautiful.

You are a brilliant player you deserve this

Sounds great JP. As you said sounds very OM like but it does have something different in the crystalline low end response. Congratulations man.

This is the best sounding guitar i ever heard

Lucky Duck! Congratulations! Semper Fi

COngrats

Great video, beautiful sound and playing, wonderful expressions from you , God Bless You and the amazing guitar company !!!

Beautiful sounding guitar. and beyond excellent craftsmanship! The real solid lows and really balanced highs are fantastic.

What an amazing sounding guitar! Very happy they made you a model! Well deserved! Hope to see one at Merelefest!!

WOW! BRAVO!!! HUGE CONGRATS. Totally deserved and well earned. Hope to try someday! Worth a trip down to Gruhn's or wherever the finest guitars are sold.

Thats the dream,a gallagher signature. Congrats my brother.

John you deserve that !!! You are an amazing player. GOD BLESS YOU !!!! Thank you for the beautiful music !

Fabulous guitar JP! So happy for you. You’ve earned. That first finger style tune you played on this vid was beautiful. What is the name and composer of that song?

Greetings from Australia J.P , congratulations on that fine piece of playable art, what an honour for someone who truly deserves it, your love of and contribution to the world of acoustic guitars and music is recognised and appreciated obviously, I take it that it is long scale as it takes alternate tuning very well and just rings out, I mostly love Mahogany sound and not so much Rosewood.....this is something else, it still has some nice warmth sonically but combined with some great overtone (not over the top) coming forth, as we say here "what a ripper" it's awesome 😢😂.

JP is the best guitar salesman on this planet. No one else is even close.

Beautiful. Congratulations. The walnut is stunning. 😉 Looking forward to you playing this in future videos.

Congrats, buddy! You deserve it! I have long watched your stuff. Anyntime im thinking about buying a new acoustic, i always look and see if youve reviewed or had anything to say about the company before i do. And with great results. Becuase of you I found a great home in my Furch guitars. Gallagher guitars are legend for a reason. So happy for ya.

SOUNDS AWESOME! Are you going to make any changes? Any idea when available?

I would've liked to see a Florentine cutaway personally.

That guitar sounds great! Wow! I think a lot of people have misjudged walnut as a guitar wood. I've heard some other great guitars with walnut and they sound great too. But not as good as that one. Enjoy your guitar and thanks for the video!

sweet

That’s a cider top? That sounded like a spruce in my opinion. Wow! That’s super nice man. Congrats J.P.

Congratulations. Walnut is allegedly an old-timey North American tonewood and that is the most visually stunning sample I have ever seen. That OM sounds better than any dreadnaught I own.

Congratulations! Well deserved 👏🎉 O.k how can I get No #2 ? Who's the dealer in Ontario, Ca.

Beautiful guitar! You always have such a clear sound. How do you record these demos microphone etc. I work with Martin and Collings guitars but can’t seem to achieve the sound I have in my head. You do! How?

J.P. you are getting royally spoiled!😁

I want one

💗

15:34 Note the break angle here; consistant per unit and designed for absolute maximum available power. This will carry from the slightest delicate touch, straight through into overdriven flatpicking with unplugged play. In the same frame is the hand carved bone bridge, and again hand compensated for strobe tune. Permanent. All incorporated into the phenomenal ebony foundation. THAT is a bridge. Cheers!

JP , I put your U-Tube on today on my lap. When I looked up, you were wearing a black Johnny Cash t shirt and I thought I was looking in the mirror because I am wearing a black Johnny Cash t shirt too!!!

I build mainly mandolins but just finished my first guitar. Walnut back and sides except I used adi spruce top. Yours sounds better!😂

That GORGEOUS walnut is a pricey little option. Is the cedar top torrified????

You know I’m a wooden boat guy JP well, you probably don’t know that because I’ve never commented on one of your videos before but here I am a WoodenBoat guy sticking my nose in probably where it doesn’t belong so I don’t know how to play I have never played. I mean once I had my brothers banjo and I managed to try to learn how to play anything. García played on a banjo And proceeded to break every string but anyway, I’m a wooden boat guy and I love your videos like to meet you sometime I know sometimes you get to Maine maybe we will see you maybe I’ll learn how to play you’re making this guy who just found your channel 2 months ago ever so much more so.

Very cool to have your own signature guitar, and it sounds great! You mentioned first fret clearance of 18 thousands on the low E. What clearance do you prefer on the other 5 strings?

As a fan of your musicianship and channel, I would love to hear you talk about and explain your signal chain when you play at say a small/large venue. Do you use a pickup or microphone, what kind? reverb? eq? equipment? etc.

Unusual cutaway, but I really quite like it.

I do so enjoy your videos, great content and great guitar playing. What’s better than that, except for puppies! As I’m scrolling through your vids I see ads for Zager guitars. I actually see them here there. and everywhere. Have you ever reviewed or tried them? Maybe Denny was a one hit wonder, radio wise, (oh did I get tired of hearing In the year 2525) but perhaps he makes a decent guitar? Anyway thanks for all you do and I wish you good health and peace Daja

Lovely guitar… cut out looks a bit funny- almost like witch’s chin. I know you really appreciate honest comments. Wish I owned one btw 🧙‍♀️

I had to turn down my volume. Listening through old apple EarPod Pros and iPhone 12Pro. I never have to turn it down. It sounded like you were dynamiting the microphone. Is it REALLY THAT FUCKING LOUD? Holy String Theory, Pick-Man! That things got a motor on it!

That's a cannon for a small body.
