Description The Goodall Grand Concert in Honduran Mahogany is a remarkable expression of both tradition and renewal, a guitar that bridges the rich heritage of James Goodall’s vision with the fresh energy of his son, Luke. James has long been regarded as one of the most gifted luthiers of our time, crafting instruments that seem to breathe with both precision and soul. Now, with Luke joining him in the workshop, the Goodall legacy carries forward with a rare blend of wisdom and youthful inspiration, each guitar embodying not just decades of craftsmanship but also the continuity of a family’s devotion to tone and artistry. This particular Grand Concert is one of the first to emerge from Goodall’s new Tennessee home, a workshop that symbolizes a new chapter in the story of these extraordinary instruments. After many years in California, the Goodall family relocated eastward, settling among the rolling hills and rich musical traditions of Tennessee. The move has infused their work with a sense of renewal and reverence, and this Grand Concert reflects that spirit in every curve and detail. To hold it is to feel the continuity of their history, yet also the freshness of a guitar born from a new place of inspiration. Crafted from AAA Honduran Mahogany for its top, back, and sides, this instrument radiates warmth, depth, and clarity in its voice. The tonewood has been paired with a Honduran Mahogany neck, an ebony fingerboard, and an ebony bridge, all of which add both elegance and resonance. Ebony bindings trace the body, fingerboard, and headstock, while an ebony backstrip and headstock veneer lend a refined symmetry. The Paua rosette glows with a subtle iridescence, surrounding the soundhole with quiet beauty, while slotted mother of pearl diamond inlays on both the fingerboard and bridge glisten like stars on a clear night. Every detail has been chosen not only for beauty but also for performance. The Gotoh 510 chrome mini tuners with ebony buttons provide precise tuning with their smooth 18:1 gear ratio. The bone nut and saddle carry vibration with clarity and sustain, while the phosphor bronze nano-coated light gauge strings bring out both richness and sparkle. A clear pickguard protects the high gloss finish, which covers the body and headstock with luminous depth, contrasted by the soft satin finish of the neck that feels effortless in the hand. This Grand Concert carries dimensions that make it both versatile and intimate, with a 14 fret neck joint, 25.5 inch scale length, 1 3/4 inch nut width, and 2 1/4 inch bridge spacing. Weighing only 4 pounds 2 ounces, it feels alive and resonant, never heavy or cumbersome. It comes housed in an Ameritage case with built-in humidity control, along with a USB drive containing detailed photos of the guitar, a final touch of thoughtfulness from the Goodall workshop. The Goodall Grand Concert in Honduran Mahogany is not just an instrument but a milestone, an heirloom in the making, carrying with it the artistry of James Goodall, the energy of Luke Goodall, and the new Tennessee chapter of their story. Its voice is as lyrical as its design, resonating with warmth, clarity, and refinement, and it stands as a glorious testament to one of the finest traditions in American lutherie.
