Goodall 14-fret Parlor Guitar Demo @ House of Musical Traditions

House of Musical Traditions in Takoma Park, MD (just outside of Washington DC) is a dealer for James Goodall acoustic guitars. Here we have Mark Sylvester, one of our guitar teachers, demonstrating the 14-fret Parlor model. The smaller body is very comfortable, but the sound is punchy and clear. This model features a Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back & sides, Ebony fingerboard & bridge, Curly Koa binding, Abalone rosette and Gotoh 510 tuners. It has a 25" scale length.

List Price on this model is $5,500 and includes an Ameritage hardshell case. For availability and price, please contact HMT directly at hmtmail@hmtrad.com or 301-270-9090, or visit our website at www.hmtrad.com.

Goodall Guitars are handmade by James and Luke Goodall in Fort Bragg, CA. Every Goodall guitar features superb craftsmanship, an exacting finesse for detail and wood choice, and robust, three dimensional sound character.

On this video Mark is playing two original selections from his CD "Music For Solo Guitar." The first is called "American Gypsy Pt 2;" the second is "I'll Not Be Weary." Tab for these songs is available at www.marksylvester.net.

[baksteen123]

why is it called 14 frets if it has more

[musicaltraditions]

Good question! This is to distinguish it from the 12-fret model. That refers to which fret the neck joins the body at. Goodall's 12-fret model also has a slotted headstock.

The first "song" is EPIC !!!!!!

[bottomfeeder73]

What a beautiful sounding guitar!!!

[mistersquibbles]

grands and grand auditorium are larger.

[BlimpyBoy]

that thing records beautifully! and your playing certainly doesn't hurt :)

[TheSuckatash]

the sustain on that thing is ridiculous.. wow

[inkbiegel]

I'm learning this on my guitar on hearing and looking where his finger goes but.... tabs would be nice :)

anyone?

Thanks

I think the sitka tops sound better than the

adirondack.

[GladerzUK]

it mus be because the ones that overlap the body would be difficult to use so they dont count.

In case you are looking for a 14 frett parlour is more commonly known as a "grand" or "grand auditorium"

The song titles are in the description (I almost just asked same question ;D)
