Obviously this is about personal preference and not the quality of the instruments. Goodalls do have a reputation for heavy harmonics/overtones, if that suits the player they are heaven, for bluegrass and flatpicking I want a little less going on than I've found with the Goodalls I have auditioned.
By the same token I could see a Goodall fan finding Martins too dry with not enough going on, to each their own.............  |
This sums it all up nicely. As a fingerstyle player, Goodalls typically do exactly what I want. Never have owned one but have been hugely impressed by most that I play. Lush is the word.
