Goodall instruments are individually built with careful balancing in order to produce the greatest tone with the right balance of structural integrity. All models are engineered to last, without excessive bracing which dampens tonal quality.

Designed by James Goodall, each refined model shape blends fantastic playability with comfort, complimenting players of all shapes and sizes with precision and ease. All models have Goodall's exceptional signature tone, regardless of size.

Goodall Guitars utilize a plethora of tone woods for their guitars (over thirty species), each carefully chosen for its appearance and unique aural qualities. 

Every Goodall Guitar is custom designed and painstakingly hand-built, with consistent care, and acute individual attention by James and Luke Goodall at their shop on Main Street in Fort Bragg, California. Together, James and Luke have more than sixty-five years of combined luthier experience.

From slotted pegheads and unique tuning machines to venetian or florentine cutaways and special shell inlays, the focus is on allowing the natural beauty of the woods to tell their own story without extravagant cosmetic options.

Standard bindings wrap the edges of each Goodall Guitar around the peghead, the body, and are matched with the inlaid end graft.
