Bryan Galloup: Guitar Voicing with Deflection

Every guitar has the potential for an exceptional voice—but bringing that voice out takes experience, precision, and a deep understanding of how the instrument responds.

In this 7-minute educational video, Bryan Galloup walks through the complete voicing process of a Galloup Studios G2C built with a Brazilian rosewood back and sides, an Italian spruce top, and a 25.5-inch scale length.

Watch as Bryan carefully removes material from the internal bracing, explaining how even small adjustments influence the guitar’s stiffness, responsiveness, and tonal character. Using his homemade deflection jig alongside the AcouSonix FFT system, he measures, analyzes, and refines the instrument until it reaches the response he’s looking for.

This isn’t guesswork—it’s decades of experience combined with practical measurement techniques that help produce consistent, repeatable results.

If you’ve ever wanted to better understand the science and craftsmanship behind voicing an acoustic guitar, this is a video you won’t want to miss.
