Goodall Crossover Nylon AAA Port Orford Cedar Flamed Maple

This is an amazing fusion crossover nylon guitar made by the phenonomal James Goodall This Goodall Guitars nylon string Crossover guitar from 2007 was made in Hawaii, and will satisfy the most discriminating guitar player. These Nylon string Crossover models are truly a wonderful blend of steel string playability and classical guitar tone and projection. Goodall styled this guitar to have a beautiful, elegant look, somewhat in-between a classical and a steel string guitar; a little Spanish influence blended with some Western inspiration. 

A truly refined classical instrument has a powerful separation to each note and a brilliant and powerful treble which makes its voice somewhat strident and less satisfying when strummed like a steel string, but these Crossovers have a little more blend, balance, richness and sustain making them suitable for strumming as well as fingerstyle playing with equally satisfying results. There is plenty of clarity on the treble stings though and when pushed they really sing out, giving a wide dynamic range. The bass is very full and resonant, but not overpowering.

This instrument boasts AAA grade figured maple back and sides mated to a Port Orford Cedar top which one might mistake for sitka spruce because of it's very similar looks.
