This is not just a guitar—it’s a piece of boutique guitar history. Goodall guitars are considered among the finest boutique instruments in the world, renowned for their exceptional tone, balance, and craftsmanship, and this PSC-332 is a prime example of his artistry.  The guitar was built in 1988 and has stood the test of time.  It represents a rare opportunity to own a guitar from Goodall’s formative years, when production was extremely limited and every detail was crafted by hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-truncation-container gmail-truncation-container--open\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-item2-description__content\"\u003eJames Goodall began building guitars in 1972 with no prior experience, teaching himself the art of lutherie while working alongside Bob Taylor.  He quickly earned a reputation as one of the finest small-shop builders in North America  In the early 80's, he had workshops in Mendocino and Fort Bragg, building an average of only 40 guitars a year.   In the 90's, the Goodall family moved to Hawaii, before returning to California in 2009.  James and his son Luke continue the legacy in Fort Bragg, building some of the best acoustics out there.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-item2-description__content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-item2-description__content\"\u003eGoodall instruments are celebrated for their rich sustain, responsiveness, and heirloom-quality construction. Each guitar was meticulously voiced and finished, blending traditional techniques with modern precision, resulting in tonal excellence.  This PSC-332 was built in the original Fort Bragg era.  It has a great set of tonewoods: a AAA Sitka Spruce top, Padauk back and sides, Mahogany neck, Ebony fretboard, and East Indian Rosewood body binding, veneer and backstrip.  It also features hand-inlaid bird and small diamond abalone inlays.  The craftsmanship is incredible. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-item2-description__content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-item2-description__content\"\u003eIn terms of tone, you can expect exceptional clarity, warmth, and dynamic range.  The guitar is ideal for fingerstyle and expressive playing.  We found this particular dreadnaught model to sound open and lively.  It's aged well over the years - our thinking is that it sounds even better today than it did when first built.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-item2-description__content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-item2-description__content\"\u003eWe reached out and corresponded with Jean Goodall;
