Goodall Grand Concert Cutaway - Master Grade Redwood & Indian Rosewood #7237

The Goodall Grand Concert Cutaway in Master Grade Redwood and East Indian Rosewood is a shining example of the artistry, integrity, and generational devotion that define Goodall Guitars. For decades, James Goodall has been revered as one of the most meticulous and musical luthiers of our time; his instruments are renowned for their lush tonal palette, breathtaking balance, and effortless playability. What began as James’ singular pursuit of perfection has now grown into a family legacy, with his son Luke Goodall poised to carry the torch forward, ensuring that the name “Goodall” remains synonymous with heirloom-quality lutherie for generations to come.

This Grand Concert Cutaway exemplifies everything that makes a Goodall so special. The body’s Master Grade Redwood top is chosen for its tight grain, vibrant stiffness, and incredible dynamic responsiveness. Redwood brings a unique warmth and depth, yielding a voice that sings with sweet overtones and exceptional sustain, yet retains articulate clarity. Paired with East Indian Rosewood back and sides, this guitar delivers a classic tonewood combination beloved by fingerstyle players and flatpickers alike: deep, resonant bass, clear, bell-like trebles, and an open, airy midrange that makes every chord shimmer.

Aesthetically, this guitar is simply captivating. The elegant Venetian cutaway invites access to the highest frets without sacrificing tonal integrity. Binding the body and headstock in beautifully figured curly Koa adds an organic luxury that frames the Rosewood and Redwood with a golden warmth. A matching curly Koa backstrip accentuates the guitar’s graceful lines. The Paua Abalone rosette adds a touch of iridescent beauty around the soundhole, catching the light like a ring of ocean color. Subtle yet refined Mother-of-Pearl diamond inlays adorn the smooth ebony fingerboard, leading the eye up to the matching ebony headstock veneer, all seamlessly tied together with ebony fingerboard binding.

The appointments are practical yet premium. An ebony bridge anchors the strings to the Redwood top, while Pau Ferro bridge pins and end pins add a custom touch. The bone nut and saddle provide uncompromising tonal transfer and tuning stability. The satin-finished Mahogany neck feels fast and comfortable, with a 1 3/4" nut width and 2 1/4" bridge spacing that welcome both intricate fingerstyle and confident strumming. Premium Gotoh 510 Mini Gold tuning machines with ebony buttons add silky precision to every tuning adjustment, and the Elixir Phosphor Bronze Nanoweb Light strings (.012–.053) ensure clarity and longevity right out of the case.

Every detail speaks to Goodall’s commitment to making instruments that transcend mere craftsmanship. They are living, breathing musical partners. Protected in an Ameritage Gold hard case with built-in humidity control, this 4 lb 8 oz masterpiece is ready for stages, studios, or quiet moments of inspiration at home.

The Goodall Grand Concert Cutaway is more than a guitar; it is the sum of James Goodall’s lifelong devotion to the guitar builder’s art and Luke Goodall’s dedication to carrying that vision forward. It stands as a testament to the beauty of fine tonewoods, the subtle power of masterful design, and the timeless connection between player and instrument that Goodall Guitars has fostered for decades and will continue to inspire for many decades to come.
