1995 Goodall Walnut Grand Concert
James Goodall is widely respected as one of the best luthiers in the game today. Combining stunning tonewoods with meticulous craftsmanship, Goodall builds instruments that have a quality of tone a vintage guitar nut would love. His guitars are deep, warm, woody, and rich; with complexities and overtones measurable throughout the tonal pallet. Considering the smallish size of this Walnut Grand Concert, the instrument produces a huge tone with ample bottom end response. And it does so in style; with curly walnut back and sides, silky-quartered Englemann spruce top, maple bindings abalone rosette and headstock inlay, gold hardware, and - of course - a Florentine cutaway. The neck is wide and fast, with a 1-3/4" nut, and 25.5" scale. The instrument is in excellent condition with no dings or dents, scratches or cracks. The top's finish has developed an exceptionally fine spider-webbing of crazing that's only noticeable at certain angles; I'm not sure if it will show up in our photos. Excellent in-shop set up. This one is hard to put down.
