Default 2021 Brad Goodman archtop jazz guitar w video's

This is a custom built archtop by Brad Goodman in 2021. Brad has been building guitars for 50 years and his guitar are top notch in every way. This was envisioned as a gig guitar so the body is thinner than a standard archtop and it has a built in Armstrong pickup so it really controls the feedback issue that many archtops have. But in the end it felt like it was too nice to take out on a gig, So home use only and the guitar is in excellent ++ condition. I am reducing my guitar numbers so a great deal for someone. This guitar was $6000 new. I see a new one on reverb at $6000 so my price of $4200 is a steal.
Its is a pro level instrument in every way. Stunning woods throughout. The sound is breathtaking! Truly head and shoulders above most of the guitars in this price range. Extremely easy to play with a low action set-up. I play fingerstyle and with a pick and it handles both brilliantly. Just a joy to play! Original TKL case included.
Jazz chords are lush and articulate. Single note melodies are clear and full bodied. Love to play chord melody on this baby. It would be a great addition to any archtop collection. I recorded 4 video's with this guitar including one video where i play it only acoustically. Check them out at:
