'Seed, since my last name is Gallagher, I'll second that emotion. In fact, I received my brand new 71 Special one week ago. I, too, first learned of Gallagher guitars from the WTCBU album. I've wanted one ever since. The Gallagher catalog can be viewed at www.dnj.com/Gallagher These guitars have a distinctive sound especially suited to flatpicking - Doc's playing attests to that. As luck would have it, I play with my fingers exclusively, but it still sounds great. My other guitar is a Guild F50R - ala Dave Van Ronk - probably my all time favorite artist.
