New Guitar Day - It's a Goodall!

Goodall Aloha Grand Concert

 

 

I got my first Goodall earlier this year and I adore it. In fact, I love it so much, it was killing me not to be able to gig with it. But my gigs tend to be in places I wouldn't bring a nice guitar. So I've been looking for a cheaper (and smaller) Goodall to play in the pubs. This is about as low-end as you can get in a Goodall, but it's still a wonderful guitar. And at roughly half the cost of my other one, I won't break down and weep if it gets a few nicks.

 

I think this means my L-4A will be up on the block soon.

Actually a pretty nice box to be bangin' around in pubs.

Drool. Beautiful guitar. I imagine it sounds as good as it looks. And made by a really good guy, too.

Heck, yeah. I'll tell you, one of the (many) amazing things I've found about Goodalls is how similar they sound - the smaller bodies, bigger bodies, different top woods and tonewoods - they all sound like a Goodall. This little Grand Concert really holds its own against my Standard; just a very slight drop-off in bass.

Sound clips!

Sweet-looking guitar. Never owned a Goodall, but they do grab my attention. Maybe someday........Congrats!

An incredibly difficult thing to achieve, which says something about the level of craftsmanship that goes into his guitars.

 

I've corresponded with James on several occasions, when I asked him about certain details regarding his craft and materials. In each case it was clear to him that I wasn't considering one of his guitars, but had other reasons for asking those quesstions. Nonetheless, he was very open and gave me the info I sought. To me, that says volumes about him.

Mine is also a Grand Concert but sitka, EI Rosewood. Love the guitar but I too don't take it out much. It's name is Tinker Bell, a name my granddaughter gave it when she first saw the logo.
