2018 Goodall Grand Concert Master Grade Redwood & Rosewood
Offered for your consideration is this superb Rosewood and Redwood Grand Concert guitar built by James Goodall in 2018.
This a 14-fret, 25.5" string scale instrument with a body that is just 19-1/2" long and 15" wide at the lower bout. It has a lovely Mastergrade Redwood top matched with East Indian Rosewood for the back and sides. It has Curly Maple body binding and backstrip with an Abalone rosette and fingerboard inlays. It has a sleek oval-shaped Mahogany neck with Ebony binding and depth measurements of .83" at the first and .89" at the ninth. The fretboard is Ebony with a 14" radius, Paua inlays and a 1-3/4" bone nut. The headstock has Maple binding, an Ebony overlay and Paua logo inlay. It has an Ebony bridge with a bone saddle and 2-1/4" string spacing. The tuners are gold Gotoh 510's with matching Ebony buttons. It comes with a clear plastic pickguard which Jim installs on most of his guitars. The guitar has a total weight of just 4 pounds, 5 ounces.
The Grand Concert body is the perfect size for many players; big enough to have significant power, but small enough to be quite comfortable to play. If you listen to the included sound sample you will find that this guitar has a voice that is rich, clear and balanced, with great note separation and lots of the overtones that Goodall guitars have long been known for. The combination of the warmth of the Redwood with the clarity of the Rosewood makes for a super sounding acoustic. It is set up with Elixir Phosphor Bronze light gauge strings with 12th fret string heights of 6/64" on the low E side and 4/64" on the high E side.
Built in 2018 this guitar is in fantastic original condition. Aside from one tiny ding near the top binding (see photo), this lovely instrument shows little evidence of play or wear and the frets are spotless. It comes in it's original Ameritage case with built-in humidification.
