Fun video to watch (Goodall Content)
I stumbled across this video recently. I've never owned or even played a Goodall guitar, so I'm certainly not trying to push them, but it sure is fun to watch how they build them. These guys are true craftsman, a dying breed. It's worth a watch if you have a few spare minutes.

Playing a Goodall is an eye opening experience. You merely brush the strings and the guitar reverberates. They are the "liveliest" guitars I have played, including many handbuilt guitars far more expensive. My Goodall Rosewood Standard has an amazing blend of overtones and crystal clarity that I have not found in other guitars. Here is a little tune I wrote after I got my Goodall to showcase it's tone. This is recorded with a simple Snowball mic, no effects.

What a great way to make an honest living! This is a wonderful video. I found it calming, in fact. I'll never be able to afford a Goodall, but I'll always appreciate the art of the craft, when it comes to building high quality guitars. A labour of absolute love, no doubt.

Craftsmanship at its best, indeed. Very inspiring and you have to admire these people who so love a craft that they jump in and make it their life’s work.
I have to say, though, contrary to the OP, I don’t think they are a dying breed. I find the opposite true, in fact, as there are so many more fine Luthiers around the world now compared to a few decades back. Just here in Canada, there are dozens of amazing guitar builders. There is even a government-backed Luthiery school/college in Quebec which produces incredibly good builders. That’s a great thing for the guitar world.
