For Sale: 2020 Brad Goodman J-185 Cedar/ Padouk - Light & Responsive -BIG PRICE DROP

[sevenpalms]

I've had this one about 6 months and I know I said I'd never sell this one but GAS is getting the best of me! For sale is a Brad Goodman J-185 Guitar with a unique and creative "heart theme". Brad Goodman is based in Brewster, New York and does really outstanding work... his archtops and period Stella style guitars are outstanding! This one is clear and lush with a great full sound- out standing bass. In mint condition. Definitely the prettiest guitar I've ever owned.

Here's a sounclip shot in Brad's shop.

I had the good fortune of playing this Goodman which is priced well below the quality of the instrument. This is a luthier built beauty with a big sound. Jeff is a great guy to deal with.

I just picked up a Goodman off the classifieds here. It punches well above its price. WAY above.

Thank you Barton! it’s definitely a lot of Guitar for the money. I’ll probably leave it up over the weekend and then rethink whether I want to sell it or not. But it’s a beauty.

I too got to put this one through it's paces. It was the first Gowas odman I've played, and man, was I impressed. Jeff's a great guy to do business with, as well

Glad you got that J45…it was very tempting! This is a great guitar…. Padouk sounds totally similar to rosewood. Very full, lush and lots of sustain. Thanks!

I've added a couple more close up pics. This one sounds as good as it looks!
