    Glad to see you are in production! I guess I will have to get one of your California guitars. All mine are from your Hawaiian shop. I have tried other guitars, but yours are the best sounding of all. My favorite: 12 fret parlor with redwood/Cocobolo.

    Congratulations!!! I hope that the sound will be the same! Just keep doin’ it and all the best.

    Congratulations!
    What’s your thoughts on the first guitar?
    Are there any design changes on the new CA guitars vs the HI guitars?

    • The first one off of the setup bench was a RCJC or Rosewood Concert Jumbo with a cutaway and a sitka spruce top with curly koa binding. It sounded awesome! I forget which store it went to, and if it was direct to customer or not.

    Congrats to you, James, Jean and Luke!

    Having had a number of your wonderful guitars (and really needing another), I’m so glad to welcome the first mainland born Goodall in quite a while!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all y’all!

    It’s terrific to see you back in production and paying such close attention to detail…as always. Those new guitars look wonderful. I think your CJC model is one of the best ever built by anyone.

    So good to see you guys are back up and running.

    I don’t own a Goodall but I’d love to be a proud owner one day.

    Merry Christmas and best wishes for a healthy and wealthy New Year.

    Congratulations, Luke!

    I have my RCJ (#2499) right next to me, where it (and I) belong. Til there’s no more me, this guitar will be in my hands every day I can manage it. Blessings to you and yours as you move into the future.
