GS Mini. That little thing leaves a bunch of full-size dreadnoughts in the dust.

I think it was the first time I played a Goodall (parlor) and a Taylor (GS) back-to-back. Somehow, the parlor had a bigger sound.

A Goodall parlor was also one of my biggest surprises. I had one in Macassar and Port Oxford Cedar that just never quite did it for me. I loved the play and look but couldn't quite love the tone. I Love my Goodall KGCC and the other day played a Ziricote that was one of the best sounding guitars I have ever played. I went back a week later to do a trade and purchase but it was gone. It just goes to show how individual tone preference can be. I am sure the other two owners of my Stehr didn't love it like I do or they wouldn't have sold it. Atleast I hope that was the reason and not that they really needed the money.

Yeah, I think that's one of the really cool things about guitars, some of them just work so much better for some players over others. I used to own a Goodal KCJC and I found that my style of playing had me fighting to make it sound the way I wanted. The friend of mine who has it now wields it effortlessly.

The most surprising sounding guitar I have ever experienced was a Goodall cedar/rosewood concert jumbo. It pretty much floored me. I had no idea that a guitar could even sound like that.
Another surprising guitar was one particularly exceptional Hoffman 00 that sounded simply lovely played softly, but then when played harder sounded like there was a second guitar inside that had been switched on. Just amazing. |

The first Goodall I ever played really blew me away. It stood out in a roomful of great guitars. Other Goodalls have sounded just as good but after the first one, I was expecting the rich, full tone. The other big surprise has been the Huss & Dalton 00s. They have a much bigger voice than their size suggests. Turns out, they're H&D's best-selling guitars. I completely understand why.
I've played lots of other really nice guitars but the Goodall and H&D 00s are the ones that really caught me off guard, in a good way.

Takamine TF360SBG...it has totally changed my mind about Taks..the quality really does compare with the higher end Taylors and Martins [I have owned several of both] playablity is butter smooth, and the acoustic sound is really unlike any Takamine I have ever played..big,full, with a bass you feel in your ribgage when you play it. They said they designed it to sound like the older Martins, and I believe it. The cool tube pre-amp is as good or better than anything I have used. Really love the dial-in tube sound!

A Breedlove crossover, Passport N200/CMP. I took the chance and bombed. Bone dry sound, whatever nylon brand I put on it. Now with a set of nickel wounds/lights it is one proud sounding guitar. (Tuned to open G, and half stepped down in addition, so little risk for it to fold in on itself.) I'd never recommend it as a nylon stringer, but otherwise...

That is, until I try out other guitars in shops and find that most of them let me down (I do still LOVE good quality Martins when I play them in shops though, and I also routinely play a Martin 000-15 and a nice classical at home, but those are pretty darn nice sounding guitars too). |
