Default Goodall Shop Experience

We were vacationing in Ft Bragg in early Feb this year with my wife's 3 siblings and their spouses. After an exhilarating hike it began to poor rain cancelling further outdoor plans. I mentioned that a famous guitar builder had his shop in Ft Bragg and since we had nothing to do, could we visit? Although there wasn't a lot of enthusiasm from the group, they agreed. We found the address and just dropped in with no notice. We all had an amazing experience. The Goodall family dropped everything they were doing and spent 2 solid hours showing 7 of us their incredible guitar building operation from A to Z. At the end, they allowed me to play 4 of their finished acoustics, all to die for! Their innovation, attention to detail and genuine love of what they do produce acoustic works of art second to none and worth every penny. I love my Martin 000 12 fret, but a Goodall is now on my bucket list.
My deepest thanks to the Goodalls for their gracious hospitality.
Ricketts

What a wonderful story, Ricketts. Thanks for sharing that.

Rich, somehow I missed it when it was posted in the past. Glad I got to watch it now.

Fantastic video, and one I've watched many times over.
This is another great one from Greenfield.
