I'm glad you're addressing a pet peeve of mine that I thought had no answers to other than that it's because of the nature of acoustic guitars in general. And, you're in NJ!

Good! I'm glad you responded like that. When I play, I really like to feel the vibration of the guitar back. When I point it out to someone who's playing one of my guitars I usually get a very good response. People usually don't ask for that--I don't know why.

I put them side by side and strummed to hear the difference while I stood in front of the sound hole. The Martin was a bit louder to my chagrin since I wanted the Goodall to be more "resonant." Also, Martin had more bottom while the Goodall had more mids which I tend to lean towards. Then, I played each and the "loudness" was more apparent with the Goodall than the Martin to my surprise. As you say, I felt more of the tonal vibrations with the Goodall from its back and sides. Incidentally, I noticed that the Goodall was noticeably lighter than the Martin or Taylors for that matter. I wonder if Goodall's build is similar in philosophy with yours, at least this particular model. I'm mainly an electric guitar player and am used to hearing the tone right in front of my face from the amplifier or monitor speakers. I have noticed that some acoustic builders actually have the sound hole on the side of the guitar to address this.

Hi Solo,
It's become obvious that I need a larger shop recently and the opportunity just opened up! I'm moving from Freehold to Milltown NJ to a much better location. The guitar body is out getting the back and side finished for probably another 4-5 weeks or more. When I get the new shop organized I'll start posting the French polish I do on the neck and headstock. I want to be up and running in Milltown by December 1st. I'll be posting "in progress" pictures of the back and sides as they come in. Can't wait to see that Cocobolo under finish! Thanks

Mark, be sure to post some pics of your new shop. As a minor woodworker myself, I love seeing others' workspaces. How many square feet will you have?
