The GA-70 was introduced to the Gallagher collection in
1998. This grand auditorium model features a rosewood back
and side with a select sitka spruce top.
It has appointments like all of the 70 series guitars:
ivorid bound body, neck and fingerboard; mother-of-pearl
diamond and square position markers; ebony fingerboard and
bridge; herringbone purfling and sound hole rosette; bone
nut and saddle; and chrome Schaller tuning keys.
The neck width at the nut is 1 3/4".
The grand auditorium body provides the balance desired in
a fine fingerstyle guitar with a stronger presence than the
auditorium body style.
This guitar has quickly established itself in the
fingerstyle playing community winning approval by such
excellant players as
Gayla Drake Paul.
