Goodall KGCK - 2001
Goodall KGCK - 2001
Wow. Just “wow.” Clarity and power. This koa stunner has fully matured in the past 25 years. Round, ringing tones and tons of volume.
top: primo koa (James’ special reserve)
b&s: koa, cut from the same board, and have a wonderfully matched figure
body shape: Grand Concert, 14-¼” at lower bout
scale: 25.5” While a 25-inch short scale is sometimes an option on the standard Grand Concert models, the highly appointed all-Koa versions typically retain the traditional 25.5-inch scale to deliver Goodall's signature bell-like clarity, powerful projection, and rich harmonics
bindings: Top, back, sides, peghead and heelcap have multiple bindings.
neck: mahogany
fingerboard: radiused ebony, w/ abalone “cut-diamond” inlays.
bridge: ebony
nut width: 1-¾”
Koa peghead overlay with Goodall logo inlaid in pearl and abalone.
tuners: Gold Schaller tuners with ebony buttons.
rosette: abalone
body: The GC body shape is slightly smaller than a standard dreadnought, making it exceptionally comfortable for seated and fingerstyle playing without sacrificing volume
Goodall is legendary for their handling of Hawaiian Koa, which provides a bright, focused midrange that — in typical fashion — has warmed up and opened beautifully over time.
