Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

What more can be said about the ever versatile grand concert from Goodall! If unparalleled rich complexity is what you have long panted for, quench your thirst  in this medium-bodied water. The master Italian top affording both clarity and complexity to a number of right hand subtleties make this masterful outing from Goodall Guitars  an ocean of sound I'd gladly get swept out to. 

SP Luthier Notes: Recut Nut

From Goodall Guitars

"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.
