Goodall Custom Grand Concert James Goodall is an artisan of superb craftsmanship with an exacting finesse for detail and wood choice, combined with robust, three dimensional sound character. These qualities embody every James Goodall guitar. The Grand Concert model is a refined and beautifully proportioned shape, and is everything you could desire from an acoustic guitar and more. It's tone is a wonderful blend of balanced clarity, and punchy projection, with a smooth rich bass response. This instrument is larger than the Parlor but smaller than the Concert Jumbo. It has a singing lyrical treble, with excellent sustain, and is comfortable to hold. Though it is a small guitar, the Grand Concert does not exhibit the tight nasal tonal quality in the midrange and bass that is generally associated with smaller guitars. This Custom Grand Concert features a Master Grade Sitka Spruce top and gorgeous Cocobolo back and sides. It is our experience that Sitka Spruce tops are more powerful with excellent clarity and definition. Additionally, Sitka Spruce, for its weight, it's one of the strongest woods in the world. Cocobolo characteristically has powerful low overtones resulting in a complex bottom end. The overall effect is also a bell like tone with clear, slow decaying harmonics. Fast and responsive, it articulate with ample note distinction and a rich low end/ This instrument is gorgeously appointed with a ebony fingerboard, bridge with a Cocobolo headstock overlay, and Rosewood bindings. It has long diamond mop fretboard inlays, Abalone Rossette and Gotoh 510 gold tuners with ebony buttons. This Goodall Custom Grand Concert Guitar is in Excellent Condition with a few light surface scratches on the top and back as well as a few very light finish dings near the lower bout and a few by the soundhole.
