My back bracing is definitely mahogany, but the top is spruce. |

Picked this one up a few months ago from Capital Guitars...#4439, AAA Adi/AAA Koa KCJC. It was my first 16" jumbo. I've found I get along well with the size.

According to Jean, my TW-000 has top braces made from spruce and the top lateral braces as well as the back end side braces are made from mahogany.

This is one of my favorite threads on the AGF!!
I've noticed some new things brewing at Goodall. I've noticed James and Luke have started building some with Torrified Spruce. Sylvan had one there last time I was in. I also noticed that like a lot of builders they ran out of Madagascar Rosewood and its no longer on their price list. I have 6508 which is a TMdRBD with master grade Red Spruce over Madagascar Rosewood, it's a 12 Fret body shape but a 14 neck connections with 28" scale length. The guitar is quite amazing to play D-D tuning!!! I've held onto a Great 2012 Standard in Redwood and EIR which I love and I have a 2007 NAMM Show Jumbo in Bearclaw Spruce and Honduran Rosewood. All Three Goodall guitars I have now are breathtaking to hear, play and see!! All three will draw you in and surprise you tonally pretty much every time you play them!!! I can't say enough good stuff about Goodall guitars! We need to get some '16, '18, '19, and soon 2020 Goodall guitars added to this list.

Where's The "LIKE" Button?!!!

I honestly don't know why Goodalls aren't in the hands (and on the lips) of more players... I know James doesn't go in for all the flashy bling, nor for soundports or shoulder bevels, but his instruments are always impeccably finished and constructed... in the lexicon of "High End" acoustic guitars, they are a tremendous "deal", priced more towards the bottom of the "cost" list than the top. Goodall acoustic guitars are, for my tastes, the finest sounding acoustic guitars on the planet...

They are great but the vast majority of guitar owners don't play $5000 (and up) instruments.

Great, great instruments are for sale at prices that people pay for lesser instruments.

And fewer of most guitar players are paying $2,000 for an instrument - let alone a used one. I agree they are great. Mine is my favorite gigging guitar along with my 000-18 but everyone isn't going to spend that amount for a new guitar - or a used. one. We are the 2%. The rest don't spend anywhere near what many herein do.

As a public service announcement, please don't assume that a $3,000 used Goodall that originally cost nearly $5000, is any less desirable that a new $3000 retail instrument, IMO.
You'd do yourself a huge disservice in believing that.
