Sound Pure's Take

One of the finest guitars we've ever encountered! This instrument is just dripping with overtones and sustain for days. It's the classic Goodall tone further enhanced by AAA Brazilian and an Adirondack Spruce top. James Goodall has really knocked it out of the park with this one. The setup is perfect. What a joy to play! This guitar is going to make someone really, really happy.

It was recorded with a pair of Earthworks SR40 Cardioid Microphones into a Sebatron VMP 4000e Tube Mic Preamp.

From Goodall Guitars

The OM is the second model in the Traditional series instruments. It features a smaller, more comfortable to hold body size than the popular dreadnought body shape. Its description is not unlike its bigger brother, the Traditional Dreadnought model.

"When we string up an OM it's hard to distinguish from the Traditional Dreadnought"

Its tone is extremely powerful in the bass and midrange with an emphasis on a broad warmth without lacking treble. The Traditional model features a custom, partial scalloped bracing pattern which produces a bit more 'boominess' in the bass and midrange. The peghead and bridge have been redesigned for a more conservative look and Waverly tuning machines are a standard feature. It is nicely trimmed with a herringbone rosette and herringbone top purfling with a chevron marquetry backstrip. It is especially built for the flatpicker and bluegrass style players.
