I can't recall experiencing such a profound sense of movement while playing an instrument
Playing this guitar feels like gliding through a snow-covered field in a warm train car
Outside, the overtones flutter about in shafts of sunlight, while you carefully guide their flight from within
The master German/Honduran Rosewood combination is a delight, both sonically and visually
It's elegant, articulate, and light in coloration (showcasing the intricacy of the grain structure)
It's got that iconic, dry presence that you find in the best guitars of the "golden era"
Coupled with a modern "lushness" that gives it the dynamic range of a symphony
It's hard to believe that it's of this earth
But here it is
We've got pictures to prove it ;)
'A flatpicker's delight!'
The Orchestra Model is a greatly favored shape amongst our Traditional lineup. 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 a Traditional Orchestra Model 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. All of our Traditional series models features a custom, partially 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 visual appeal, with open gear Waverly tuning machines contributing to its charm. It is attractively arrayed with a herringbone marquetry rosette and top purfling, and a chevron marquetry backstrip. It has been designed especially with the flatpicker and the bluegrass player in mind.
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.
