  Bryan Sutton has this to say: "From the first time I played the Slope-D Bourgeois that would come to be known as the "Banjo Killer", I was amazed at the range of tone and volume the guitar could produce. The guitar always seems to be to able to handle any dynamic level of play. I can hear the guitar clearly in a loud jam session without feeling like I have to overplay and also enjoy a full and sustained tone when I want to play softly.”

"When we string up an OM it's hard to distinguish from the Traditional Dreadnought"
-Goodall Guitars

The Orchestra Model is a greatly favored shape amongst Goodall's Traditional lineup. It features a smaller, more comfortable to hold body size than the popular dreadnought body shape. Its tone is extremely powerful in the bass and midrange, with an emphasis on a broad warmth without lacking treble. All of Goodall's Traditional series models features a custom, partially scalloped bracing pattern which produces a bit more 'boominess' in the bass and midrange. The peghead and bridge have been redesigned for a more conservative visual appeal, with open gear Waverly tuning machines contributing to its charm. It is attractively arrayed with a herringbone marquetry rosette and top purfling, and a chevron marquetry backstrip. It has been designed especially with the flatpicker and the bluegrass player in mind.

Another spectacular instrument from Dana Bourgeois. This custom ordered Bourgeois was built in 2018. This guitar sounds like a cannon, and has opened up beautifully. The tone of this Honduran Rosewood is extremely similar to Brazilian Rosewood. Nice, strong bass fundamental, great projection, extremely loud and punchy. It's an "all-day-every-day" dreadnought acoustic. You'll never want to put it down. Thanks to the magic of the Adirondack spruce top you get huge low end, crisp and bright high end with lots of punch, and tone and volume that does not break down. No matter how hard you strike this instrument, it just gets louder and never gives out. This guitar has overtones for days with plenty of cut and articulation for serious flatpicking. An LR Baggs Anthem has been installed (a $329 value) and works perfectly. It is without a doubt a guitar of a lifetime!

Here's a stunning Alvarez Model 4286 Montana Five Star 5-string banjo. Made in the early 1970's. This banjo is in very good condition. Showing some finish wear on he bottom and fading of the gold hardware. The frets are near perfect. It shows some wear on the bottom of the lower bout. It would be difficult to find a 50+ year old instrument in much better condition. That said, it has extraordinary tone, it's gorgeous, and it's easy to play. A Bluegrass picker's dream.
