1999 Grand Concert Jumbo with Qilted Mahogany back and sides with ebony bindings.Top is georgeous sitka spruce and the ebony Fretboard has abalone diamonds tastefully distributed throughout. I love the satin finished, the abalone rosette and Flying "G" on the ebony veneer headstock. Most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. 14 frets, no cutaway.
Sound

Learning Denny Zager's fingerstyle method (www.zagerguitars.com) who did the song "In The Year 2525." Sound is incredible in that each note is heard. Own a Martin D42 which is much more bassy and boomy. Alsolutely love the sound for any style; very bright and succinct.

Action is a little high and my fingers are sore. I am going to have it adjusted. Fit and finish is perfect...better than perfect..flawless

While considering purchasing this guitar, I emailed the factory about their choice of tonewoods. They got back to me right away and I wasn't even a current owner!
Overall Rating

I have a budget that would allow various guitars but chose the Goodall because of the wider standard nut (1.75") and the sound...nothing like any guitar that I have played..Martin,Collings,Tacoma,Taylor,Ryan. These look like they are hand made becasue they are.
