2023 Goodall Grand Concert Cutaway - Bearclaw Italian Spruce & Special Reserve Koa

The 2023 Goodall Grand Concert Cutaway – Bearclaw Italian Spruce & Special Reserve Koa is an extraordinary testament to masterful luthiery, seamlessly merging breathtaking aesthetics with tonal excellence. Crafted with meticulous precision, its special reserve koa back and sides exhibit a striking visual allure, characterized by a deep, shimmering grain that exudes warmth and complexity both visually and tonally. The master-grade bearclaw Italian spruce top, renowned for its exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, contributes a remarkable balance of clarity, responsiveness, and dynamic range, delivering an articulate voice with a touch-sensitive response that effortlessly translates the player's nuances into music of unparalleled richness. Adorned with an abalone rosette, the soundhole serves as a luminous focal point, perfectly complementing the mother-of-pearl slotted diamond fretboard inlays, which grace the ebony fingerboard with an air of refined elegance. A mother-of-pearl dove inlay, delicately set on both the fretboard and the bridge, adds a touch of ethereal beauty, symbolizing the instrument’s transcendent artistry. The gracefully contoured Venetian bent cutaway offers effortless access to the upper registers, enhancing playability without compromising the guitar’s elegant silhouette. Functionality meets opulence with the Gotoh 510 gold mini tuners, featuring mini ebony buttons and an 18:1 gear ratio, ensuring silky-smooth tuning precision. Curly koa bindings on the body, fingerboard, and headstock provide a harmonious visual continuity, framing the guitar in natural splendor, while an ebony fretboard offers a rich, smooth playing surface. Further enhancing the instrument’s sonic purity, a bone nut and saddle, along with pau ferro bridge pins and an end pin, contribute to the guitar’s impeccable tonal transfer and sustain. The mahogany neck, finished in a satin sheen, offers a velvety touch that encourages effortless movement, while the clear pickguard preserves the pristine aesthetic of the top without detracting from its natural beauty. Weighing just 4 lb 1 oz, this instrument provides a perfect balance of lightness and substance, offering supreme comfort for extended playing sessions. Encased in a premium Ameritage case with built-in humidity control, the 2023 Goodall Grand Concert Cutaway stands as a true masterpiece—an heirloom-quality guitar that captivates with its stunning visual artistry and a voice that sings with clarity, warmth, and soul-stirring resonance.
