Just in from Gallagher Guitars - a brand new G-50 Dreadnought. Check out that beautiful sunburst! This guitar is very lightweight and very lively - a terrific mahogany backed dreadnought! Here is Gallagher's description of this model:
The G-50 has the honor of being J.W. Gallagher’s first Gallagher guitar. J.W. was 50 years old so naturally it became the G-50. This was also the first Gallagher guitar that Doc Watson owned. His G-50 became known as “Old Hoss” and was played on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” Doc’s G-50 had rosewood fretboard and bridge. We also use similar bracing to the original G-50s.
