What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

Pure art!  Goodall's Grand Concert model has become a touchstone and high water mark for us when it comes to a modern acoustic guitar--this Italian/Palo Escrito model lends further evidence to an already open and shut case.  The comfort and ease of playability are just as improbable as the depth and precision that each and every note on the fretboard seems to have unto itself.  Italian and Palo Escrito together make for a quick, lively voice that offers as much 3-dimensional depth and complexity as it does clarity and responsiveness.  10/10, yet again!

Manufacturer's Description from Goodall

"The Grand Concert model is one of the world's most perfect guitars"

The Grand Concert model is a refined and beautifully proportioned shape, and is everything you could desire from an acoustic guitar and more. Its 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.

"ideal for the fingerstylist and the flatpicker, with the appropriate tonewoods"

While the Grand Concert series is considered ideal for the fingerstylist due to its sensitive, dynamic responsiveness, it is equally appropriate for the flatpicker or plectrum player with the appropriate tonewood combination. It is prized by Bluegrass flatpickers and has even been said to surpass large-bodied dreadnought guitars with respect to its clarity, sustain, and powerful projection.
