Here we have a 2006 Goodall Aloha Koa Jumbo or AKJ in Koa and Sitka Spruce. James Goodall has been building phenomenal guitars since the late-seventies, and his perfectionism and relentless pursuit of tone are hallmarks of every guitar he produces. Characterized by the distinctive lyrical quality of all Goodalls, this large-bodied jumbo-style guitar has massive low-end response without muddiness, and the koa back and sides deliver great midrange punch. Also, the Sitka spruce top has outstanding silking, indicative of a perfectly quartersawn top with little to no long-grain runout.
This Goodall jumbo is a joy to play, with all the bass we've come to expect from a large-bodied guitar, but also has plenty to offer in the midrange thanks to the dark, straight-grained koa. I'm also impressed with the excellent note-separation and balance across the strings. The satin-finished neck has a great feel and is very comfortable, to boot. Lot's to love about this Goodall beauty. 
This guitar has an amazing tone with rich bass that is big, but controlled and a very balanced response in the mids and highs. The guitar's projection is pretty great as well not to mention the great feeling neck. Over all, the guitar really impressed me. | Scale Length | 25.5 in |
