James Goodall is an artisan of superb craftsmanship with an exacting finesse for detail and wood choice, combined with robust, three dimensional sound character. These qualities embody every James Goodall guitar.

The Standard series, this one having rosewood back and sides, with its graceful curving lines, is a larger-bodied guitar with a clarity that is uncanny!  The amazingly rich, powerful bass and midrange is blended with a brilliant treble shimmering with harmonic overtones. Arguably the most balanced guitar he makes, James feels that the Goodall Standard is the crowning achievement of his luthierie career. Approximately the same cavity size as the dreadnought guitar, that is where the resemblance stops. More than one musician has commented that "this guitar makes others sound like they are stuffed full of cotton."

Whether in your living room, in the studio, or on stage, this one excels. Truly it can be said that this is the Standard by which all other guitars are judged.

The top of this guitar is Engelmann Spruce, which is the softest of the spruce topwoods.  This allows for lots of projection and responsiveness when played with a lighter touch or even bare fingers.  Not to be fooled, however, this guitar will take some flatpicking and strumming as well, as long as you don't push it too hard.  The tone is warm, rich, and effortless.
