The Bluegrass Bell guitar stands as a testament to Gallagher Guitar Co.’s dedication to quality and tradition. We began the journey with a friend who challenged us to build a pre-war style guitar like his 1937 D-18.  To accomplish this, we use a forward shifted x-brace with a torrefied top of Red Spruce.  These guitars have become a crowd favorite.

This particular Bell is the 12th fret dreadnought.  This body shape is a traditional shape that was introduced by J.W. Gallagher in 1967 to the Gallagher lineup. This body shape features a distinctive slope shoulder body and a neck joined at the 12th fret, offering a unique playing experience. Its slotted headstock pays homage to the pre-war style, making it a favorite among musicians seeking a rich, even tone perfect for recording. With over 60 years of craftsmanship, Gallagher guitars continue to resonate with musicians worldwide, celebrated for their unparalleled sound and historical significance.
