I have had my Goodall Rosewood Standard for about a week now. The label inside has the "birth" date of 5/15/1990. So it's almost 25 years old, and looks almost like new. Some pretty amazing sounds come out of this big body. When flat picked, it sounds similar to some vintage Brazilian D28 guitars I have played.
Yet it also responds well when fingerpicked. It has a few very faint impressions on the top, but the frets and fretboard show almost no wear. The rosewood is about the deepest color I have ever seen, and the Koa binding is beautiful. Everything about the guitar speaks to incredible craftsmanship .

I may have to make the 2 hour drive to Ft Bragg to tour the shop and meet James and Luke.
