An absolute muse for the modern fingerstyle player! If that staggering Special Reserve Koa back doesn't inspire you already, just try moving any ol' chord shape up and down the neck. You'll find a wonderfully clear, ringing tone even at the lightest touch thanks to a AAA Englemann top. The characteristic brightness in the mid and upper ranges often brought to the forefront in koa-bodied guitars finds a lovely openness in the "large-ish" Grand Concert size. Overtones glisten and glow in un-cluttered harmony with one another. It'll punch too, if you make it! Old country blues take on a dreamlike glow and more contemporary arrangements sound like they've come home for the first time. Gorgeous!
"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.
James Goodall represents an artisan who is at the pinnacle of his profession. Superb craftsmanship, an exacting finesse for detail and wood choice, combined with robust, three dimensional sound character -- these are qualities which embody every James Goodall guitar.
Few who endeavor in musical instrument making are capable of consistently maintaining a high level of precision and excellence along with superior tonal character in every instrument. Discerning eyes and ears will find the substance of all these qualities in every James Goodall instrument.
