Goya GG5

12 string guitar, Alpine spruce top, highly flamed maple back and sides, one piece mahogany neck with a slotted head stock. dreadnought size which Goya calls goliath. rosewood fretboard and bridge. fully bound body and fretboard. bone nut and saddle. pearl position markers on the fretboard offset to the top like Godin. The Goya/Levin herringbone rosette that they use on all the steel string guitars I've seen.

Bright, clear, with great projection. Ballanced with warmth on the high end.Tonally about as sweet a sounding 12 strig anyone could ask for.

This guitar is about 35 years old. I bought it used. It has an ugly neck reset but seems to be solid. I also had to cut a new saddle.
Also upgraded the tuners which were not original. Other minor issues but overall solid built.

This guitar should hold up to years of normal use and should not require a backup. Finsh is light but that is a plus on an acoustic instrument.

Goya/Levin has been out of business since the early 70's. Fear not for if you find one that has not been abused and is still solid with proper care it will stay that way.

I've been playing for about 37 years of blues, folk, and rock. Been in bands and solo.
I've played or owned about everything imaginable and have found winners and loosers in every brand. This is the second Swedish/Goya I've dealt with. [I also left a review on my T-23] and they both have a sound to fall in love with. If something would happen to it I would pray to find another.
I would also shoot someone for trying to take it. I'm becoming real fan of Goya guitars made in Sweden and if you try one you will too. Compare it to anything you will come back.
