A beauty for all the senses! Well, maybe don’t lick this one. Here’s what it looks like when you’ve got primo Koa on hand as a luthier based in Hawaii—this 2005 Goodall KGCCK Royal Hawaiian. Tightly flamed Koa back, sides, and top, hand selected by Goodall for their flagship! Purpleheart bindings to set it off, and James’ beach scene inlaid with Pearl and Abalone at the 14th fret. The voice is lively, crisp, and quick, which is also a descriptor we’d use for the slick playability and easy setup. An L.R. Baggs Anthem SL pickup system translates that straight to the stage. This Royal Hawaiian came out of James’ Maui shop in 2005.
