  1. Hey guys, welcome back.

    Nice looking guitars, only overshadowed by your spotless workshop – I’m envious on both counts!

    All the best,
    Pete

    Very, very happy for you guys. Seeing these pictures reminds me of how much I miss you all.

    With love and all the best wishes for the future of Goodall Guitars,

    • It’s been too long since I have seen you Larry. Maybe next year at NAMM, I should be there this time. Speaking of NAMM I have a photo set that I need to get from my dad and get cropped and uploaded into a new post. It’ll be up soon.

    How fitting that your last guitar in Hawaii was a Royal Hawaiian. I have a GC Hawaiian myself, and the only guitar I like more is my old Goodall RSC. Great to know you’re back in business. All the best from Sydney Australia.

    Hello from Ukraine (Kiev)

  5. James and Luke… Congratulations on getting the shop up and running… and producing the first new instruments at the site!

    After seeing the shop come together over the past year, it is stunning to see it completed! Playing the guitars was so much fun the other day! I know that the guitars that come from this shop will be very special instruments, indeed…

    Wishing you a very Happy Holiday and all the best of the season – love, happiness, health, peace and prosperity – throughout the coming years…

    your friend,

    John

    It is sooooo good to see that you guys are up and running at your new location. Playing my Goodall is one of the great joys of my life, and I know that the new guitars you build are going to be equally treasured by their new owners. Thank you so much for your beautiful instruments. They are true gifts to all of us.

    Hello, Goodall Family!

    Love your blog! From the pictures, it looks like you’ve created a functional yet inviting environment in the new shop, and I’m sure the new instruments you build will reflect that. I can’t wait for my next trip out to California, because it will include a drive up to Ft. Bragg to pay all a visit.

    In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy the Goodall experience here in Paris with my 2002 RGCC and 1981 RS (serial number 91!)

    Wishing you all the best for 2010,
    Marc Viscovi

    James…so great to see the pictures of some new guitars. I really enjoyed our phone conversation a few weeks ago. Many blessings!

  9. These guitars are fantastic. Wish you guys all the best!

  10. I’m new to the Goodall Family having recently received an MSC 2766 for my birthday. This beautiful guitar is used and I’d like to find out the date of construction. Anyone know how to date a Goodall Guitar? (Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke….) Anyway, I can’t keep my hands off this Maple Miracle. Sadly, my Martins are very jealous.
