I'm seriously considering taking the leap to a Goodall guitar - and I'd really appreciate some input on the two body shapes I feel will give me what I'm hearing in my head, i.e. the Concert Jumbo or the Standard (ideally, I would be looking for a model with a cutaway in either of those shapes).

I'm seeking that lush, overtone and harmonic rich, really full sound that will work both for fingerstyle playing but also for alternative tunings and celtic style "hybrid" playing as well. I know it's an overused cliche, but it's what people would describe as a guitar with a piano sound.

So what would suit me best? What woods should I be looking for? What is the neck like in terms of playability and feel? Are there any specialist dealers that I should be talking to to help me in my search?

In an ideal world I would be able to stroll down to my local shop and play a variety of these guitars - but that isn't ever going to happen unfortunately, so thanks again for any help and guidance you can give.
