jefm Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 I've been considering going to Roberto-Venn...but it's a log ways away from where I am. I then found this in the back of guitar world and it looks to have solved the far away problem (from canada eh) anyone heard anything about them http://www.galloupguitars.com/ from the site it sounds great but if anyone has heard anything that'd be helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 It is supposed to be one of the Premier luthier schools in America.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefm Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Well that is refreshing... Definately a better option than moving halfway across the continent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazyderek Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 put your location in the info there on the left eh, there's also a really good school in BC called luthiers international summit school, housing is provided in the tuituion, http://www.luthiers-international.com/training.htm Galloup was featured on Erlewein's fretting video's, he seems to know what he's talking about, actually i prefered his refretting method over Dan's... they also showed a breif tour of his school, nice open place. I'll see if i can rip that part of the DVD for you so you can get an educational glimpse of gallloup's shop if you'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespresence Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 How could it be bad with a founder by the name of Venn!!! I sure can't build like he did, Yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefm Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 I know I should edit my profile... I'm in Southern Ontario...actually pretty close to Detroit (They have the best rock stations) So BC would actually be farther than RV As far as price...it's not really much cheaper...the prices are quoted in US...(when I thought it was canadian it looked pretty good) It also doesn't include materials The dvd rip would be cool if I didn't have dialup...it would take me all week to download unless it's only a couple minutes long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I get the impression that Brian Galloup has done even more fret-jobs than Dan, to the point where he seems kind of burnt-out with some of the more tedious techniques, like rotating the neck-jig into the playing position, or pressing in frets , with the guitar in the neck-jig. Probably worn out from taking out CNC cut pearl inlays He seems to know his stuff, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Yeah Brain Galloup really knows his stuff and if you had the time and resources to attend the course I'm sure it'd be worth it... from Dan's video.. not sure which one.. Advanced Fretting II? He shows alot of fretting tips that even Dan doesn't do.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckguitarist Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I think there's a school in saskatchewan also.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Yeah I'm quite sure he's on advanced fretting vol 2. Frank Ford's on there too , and I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks he sounds like a munchkin from the wizard of oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 How could it be bad with a founder by the name of Venn!!! I sure can't build like he did, Yet! And for some reason I get that as clear as crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angry_jeremy Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hey, I was looking into that too and being from New Brunswick I didn't particularly want to move to Phoenix or BC for like 8 months. There is one in Calgary called Fretworks. www.fretwork.com It looked pretty good and the longest is 3 months. It doesn't have the same business training as Roberto-Venn but looks to be enough if you wanted to do repair work and with practise, custom building. Happy hunting buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
