Superb craftsmanship, an exacting finesse for detail and wood choice, combined with robust, three dimensional sound character -- these are qualities which embody every James Goodall guitar. An accomplished painter, Goodall has also built and plays Baroque oboes, recorders, English horns, dulcimers, hammered dulcimers, mandolas, and instruments of his own invention.

Formerly in Hawaii, Goodall guitars is now based in Fort Bragg, CA. James and Luke Goodall are continuing their commitment to building fantastic acoustic guitars in their new shop. (read more in Goodall's blog) The company was also featured in Acoustic Guitar's March 2011 issue: Goodall Guitars.
