Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: The frets needed polishing, and were polished. A complete wipedown and cleaning of this instrument was done. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. (A) Minor dent(s) present on the guitar required our luthier to fill, color match, and refinish the area. No further work was needed

The Goodall 2017 Standard Custom is a guitar that feels every bit as inspiring as it looks, crafted with a master German spruce top for sparkling clarity and African blackwood back and sides that give each note a warm, resonant foundation. Premium blacklip mother-of-pearl inlays and rosette shimmer with understated elegance, while ebony binding frames the instrument in classic refinement. Gold Gotoh 510 tuners add both beauty and rock-solid stability, ensuring your sound is always dialed in. With its 25.5" scale and a comfortable 1-3/4" neck, this guitar is as inviting to play as it is breathtaking to behold. It stands as a supremely playable, structurally sound instrument—an investment designed to last and to inspire. The Goodall 2017 Standard Custom is more than just a guitar; it’s a singular specimen that has been refined for performance, personality, and pure musical joy.

From Goodall Guitars

The Standard series, with its graceful curving lines, is a larger-bodied guitar with a clarity that is uncanny! The amazingly rich, powerful bass and midrange is matched to a brilliant treble and shimmering harmonic overtones. Arguably the most balanced guitar available from Goodall Guitars, James feels that the Standard model is the crowning achievement of his luthierie career. With approximately the same proportions as the ever popular dreadnought shape, the resemblance stops with the size. More than one musician has commented that "this guitar makes others sound like they are stuffed full of cotton."
