Hi, Enigma.
I have a Sitka/Rosewood Goodall Standard from 1981. The serial number is R91S, which translates into "Rosewood" "serial number 91" "Standard". The guy at GC is probably right about the date of manufacture, since your guitar would be "Mahogany" "serial number 59" "Standard". Plus, from the pictures, the label looks similar to mine.
FWIW, I'd make the deal. The most important argument is that you like the sound. The neck can be fixed, even if that means an additional investment, and you will buying an interesting piece of history!
BTW, my 1981 Standard has a neck that is straight as an arrow and tone for days.
