I currently own 4 Goodalls (2 Hawaiian, 2 Ft. Bragg) and I’ve owned about 20 since 2000. I also currently own 3 Kevin Ryan guitars, a Froggy and several other high end brands. IMO James and Luke build some of the best guitars you can buy. I personally think that Kevin Ryan guitars are better but only slightly. I can’t think of any other brands that I’ve played (Traugott, Olson, Henderson, Isaac Jang, etc) that sound better to my ear. However, it’s all so subjective that it’s really up to individual tastes. I also think that the Ft. Bragg guitars are generally better than the Hawaii Goodalls but I wouldn’t sell either of two Hawaii guitars that I own under any circumstances short of dire financial need.
