The JP Cormier Signature Model is a masterfully crafted guitar designed in collaboration with acclaimed musician JP Cormier. David Mathis, the owner of Gallagher Guitars, said: “It is no small matter to consider a signature guitar for an artist. It is important to design a guitar that meets that needs of the artist and provides a new option to the Gallagher guitar lineup. JP wanted a comfortable size guitar that still produced clear, distinct notes and yet plenty of power. He needed a guitar that could suit his versatility from finger-style to flatpicking. We believe that we achieve all of these requirements thanks to the collaboration with JP.”
When COVID-19 shut the world down, JP discovered a new way to share his talents by creating a YouTube channel focused on guitars and music. He offers insights into playing techniques and the nuances of guitar tone and playability. Drawing from his extensive experience in the music industry, he shares rich stories and insights about that world. Now, while he’s back to performing music live, he continues to provide information, stories, and features online.
JP reached out to Gallagher Guitar Co. just as the world was feeling very dark due to COVID. He wanted to buy his own Gallagher G-70. Just as then, JP continues to be a ray of light for us and the larger guitar community. JP has bought other Gallagher guitars since his first G-70 and his interaction with David and shop eventually lead to discussions of building a JP Cormier Signature model by Gallagher Guitar Co.
