Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

Small blemishes in finish.

A classic instrument from the Goodall family.  James always seems to be in his element with Rosewood guitars and this Grand Concert is a fine example of that--you couldn't ask for a more dramatic, rich voice.  The Master German top elevates every whisper of sound production.  Clean and articulate but not without ample sensitivity.  The body style is a balanced and versatile one to begin with--taken together as a whole there's not much this guitar can't do!

Goodall RGC Acoustic Guitar #6440 Quick n' Dirty

In this video, Sound Pure acoustic guitar specialist Sam Kelly describes and demonstrates the Goodall RGC Acoustic #6440. This guitar features an East Indian rosewood body and a master German spruce top.

From Goodall Guitars

The Grand Concert series, recently refined and beautifully proportioned, is everything you can imagine and more. A wonderful blend of clarity and balance with punch and a smooth, rich bass. This instrument is larger than the Parlor and smaller than the Concert Jumbo. It has a singing, lyrical treble with excellent sustain and is comfortable to hold. Though a small guitar, the Grand Concert does not exhibit the tight, nasal tonal quality in the midrange and bass associated with smaller guitars.

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. It is used by Bluegrass flatpickers and has surpassed traditional dreadnought guitars with respect to power, clarity, sustain and projection.
