Sound Pure's Take
This Goodall is unreal
It's incredibly loud, yet incredibly intimate
Like seeing a tender cinematic moment on the big screen
It's got a lush array of overtones that will leave you dizzy in the best possible way
It's a sonic tornado
It will sweep you up and drop you in a land of color
And you'll never wanna' go back to black and white again
James and Luke treat each top like the skin of a drum
Carefully voicing the whole instrument so they can leave the braces un-scalloped
The result is in a league of its own
If THIS is the sound you have stuck in your head. Nothing else will satisfy
Tone-wood-wise, I adore the German/Cocobolo combo
It's a heavenly match
Articulate, quick, and chocked full of harmonics and sustain
From Goodall Guitars
"The Standard is a guitar with a difference!"
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."
"This guitar makes others sound like they are stuffed full of cotton, you have to hear it to believe it."
Whether you are in your living room, at the recording studio, or on stage, this one excels. Truly it can be said that this is the Standard by which all other acoustic guitars are measured.
