Goodall TMhD Namm Show Spotlight Dread—On Hold for stepped payment plan
This is an exceptional James Goodall guitar. It was selected to represent his dreadnaught line in the 2006 NAMM Show due do its beautiful tone, top-of-the-line woods and appearance. It is in excellent condition with only the usual minor pick scuffs around the pick guard and has been kept in the Goodall hard case (included, of course) at all times when not being played. The better than Master Grade Adirondack spruce top, which has aged to an amber color, is treasured for its rich sound and the Figured Honduran Mahogany back and sides really contribute to the beauty of the guitar while giving it its uniquely broad sonic signature. You will absolutely love this guitar!
Price: $SOLD including PP FF and Fully Insured FedEx Home Delivery. Reasonable offers considered. I have a $4133 medical bill pending and need the funds in a bad way. If built today, this guitar would cost $9600 (Per Jean Goodall)--Priced this way: Base=$7600, Curly Mahogany Upgrade=$800, 1A Better than Master Grade Adirondack Top=$800, Case=$400.* Specs: 1.75” nut width 2.25” saddle spacing 25.5” scale length Below are some quotes from Goodall's web site further describing this wonderful instrument: "A flatpicker's delight, with dynamic power to spare" The Traditional Dreadnought model features the popular Martin dreadnought shape. Its' tone is extremely powerful in the bass and midrange with an emphasis on a broad warmth without lacking treble. It has been designed especially with the flatpicker and the bluegrass player in mind. All of our Traditional series models features a custom, partially scalloped bracing pattern which produces a bit more 'boominess' in the bass and midrange. The peghead and bridge have been redesigned for a more conservative visual appeal, with open gear Waverly tuning machines contributing to it's charm. It is attractively arrayed with a herringbone marquetry rosette and top purfling, and a chevron marquetry backstrip. Adirondack Spruce Origin: Eastern North America Density: 435 kg/m3 Characteristics: Red Spruce is typically a creamy white, with a hint of yellow and/or red. Details: Red Spruce compares very similarly with Sitka Spruce in terms of mechanical properties. It has a fine, even texture, and a consistently straight dark grain albeit with some variety of width variations. Quartersawn billets of instrument-grade Red (Adirondack) Spruce can easily exceed the cost of almost all domestic hardwoods in terms of per board-foot cost. Adirondack Spruce was used for the tops on many of the great pre-war American guitars. Many guitarmakers today believe that this wood is a significant contributing factor to the strong, clear tone of those vintage/collectible instruments. Finding available logs that will yield full dreadnought sizes in a quality similar to the Sitka and Engelmann Spruce available today is very difficult. Figured Honduran Mahogany Origin: Southern Mexico to Central South America Density: 490 - 590 Kg/m3 Characteristics: Heartwood color can vary a fair amount with Honduran Mahogany, from a pale pinkish brown, to a darker reddish brown. Color tends to darken with age. Details: Honduran Mahogany’s easy workability, combined with its beauty and phenomenal stability have made this lumber an enduring favorite. Honduran Mahogany goes by many names, yet perhaps its most accurate and telling name is Genuine Mahogany. Not to be confused with lower cost imitations, such as Philippine Mahogany, is what most consider to be the real and true species when referring to “Mahogany.” It is a very important commercial timber in Latin America, and is now grown extensively on plantations.

Looks amazing... Is this a standard scale dreadnought?
Do you mind taking closeup context photos of the pickmarks around the pickguard? I presume by around, you mean on the wood and not on the pickguard itself? Are there any other marks anywhere else on the guitar?

The pick marks are actually just on the guard. The Guitar is in excellent condition with almost no wear. I can’t find any nicks or gouges anywhere on the Guitar. It has typical swirls but that’s about it. The dreadnought is standard length. And has all of the standard measurements of Goodall’s Traditional Dread series.
In terms of the pickup, I’ll get back to you as I can’t remember is it is a fishman or not.

Montesdad, I am uncertain what exact pickup is installed but it is an under saddle pickup with battery pack and volume control wheel. I purchased this from the original owner and it was installed by sylvan music. As far as what is in the picture it is just the angle where you can start to see the wiring and battery pack for the pickup inside the Guitar. The other picture is just the volume wheel for the pickup.
