Sound Pure's Take

As soon as this guitar was unboxed for the first time, the acoustic department here at SoundPure knew we were in for a special treat. This is a crossover that refuses to be pinned down to any one application, and can shine in a plethora of circumstances.  The Western Red Cedar top is lively and responsive and the notes jump off the top upon touch. The Palo Escrito back and sides are like a lighter rosewood, in density and color. The swirling grain on the back and sides might catch your eye, but it's the sound that keeps your focus there. Bold and rounded, with sympathetic harmonies floating around in all frequencies. The cutaway adds more versatility and access to higher registers not normally seen on a nylon-stringed instrument. It's an inspiring guitar with a sound that induces insatiable cravings for more.

From Goodall Guitars

"Concise and balanced tonal clarity"
Goodall Guitars has introduced a nylon string Crossover guitar that will satisfy the most discriminating guitar player. Our Nylon string Crossover models are truly a wonderful blend of steel string playability and classical guitar tone and projection. We styled them to have a beautiful, elegant look, somewhat in-between a classical and a steel string guitar; a little Spanish influence blended with some Western inspiration. 
"Suitable for strumming as well as fingerstyle playing with equally satisfying results"
A truly refined classical instrument has a powerful separation to each note and a brilliant and powerful treble which makes its voice somewhat strident and less satisfying when strummed like a steel string, but our Crossovers have a little more blend, balance, richness and sustain making them suitable for strumming as well as fingerstyle playing with equally satisfying results. There is plenty of clarity on the treble strings though and when pushed they really sing out, giving a wide dynamic range. The bass is very full and resonant, but not overpowering.
