Sold2001 Goodall RGC
It is always a treat when we have a Goodall guitar in the shop. This one is no exception. Tonally it is crisp, clear and has a mature tone to it. The master grade Indian Rosewood back and sides gives it a wonderfully balanced tone to support this wonderfully tight grained spruce top. Despite being over twenty years old, this guitar has hardly been played at all. There is little to no fret-wear and I could see no dings or dents of note anywhere on the guitar. It is hard to see, but there is a clear pickguard on this instrument to protect the top. I love the elegant simplicity of this build, featuring a gorgeous Maple binding and a simple Abalone rosette for a little bling, but not too much. This guitar is nice and easy to play with excellent action. The neck is a round C shape without any V, enough wood there to not feel to slim, nor too bulky. It is quite comfortable. This Goodall comes with its original deluxe hard shell case.
What are the best guitars for beginners?
The best guitars for beginners have to be both affordable and high-quality, so that you don't have to struggle and can enjoy excellent tone. We recommend that all beginners start with Taylor guitars, particularly the Academy, GS-Mini or Baby guitars, as they are affordable, North American made and easily adjusted by a skilled guitar tech. Many of our customers have a limited budget, or want a guitar they don't have to worry about taking to the camp fire. In this case, we recommend Yamaha guitars as excellent entry level guitars. We have found that they stand out from the competing in terms of their build quality, playability and they are remarkably durable. In summary, the best guitars for beginners are Taylor and Yamaha guitars. However we always recommend that beginners purchase the best quality guitar they can afford, that way they can enjoy the experience and have an instrument that they can grow into. And the worst guitars for beginners tend to be old ones, with rusty strings and high action (where the guitar strings are hard to press down). In that case, we often recommend getting a fresh new Yamaha or Taylor to get started. Once you move from beginner to intermediate, we have an entire world of professional, top shelf guitars to enjoy from Bourgeois, Collings, Santa Cruz, Lowden, Huss & Dalton, Preston Thompson and more!
