Macassar Ebony Parlor
 
       
  FOR SALE: Macassar Ebony Parlor Cutaway    
  ('99 ~ 14 Fret ~ MINT) $SOLD!    
       
  I am told that this is the original Parlor in James Goodall Guitars ads. It is everything the pictures suggest. It is beautiful to view, a pleasure to play and inspiring to hear. Its voice is one of those rare balanced musical tones that combine great sustain and overtones in both its trebles and bass notes. This is one of the top 10 guitars I have played. A new model, presented in 1999, this is the smallest of Goodalls; however, in volume and projection is greater than most guitars larger in size.    
       
  The back, sides and front headstock veneer are made from Maccassar Ebony with large striping, including book matched sap lines on the back; it is bound in ebony with thin black and spruce colored purfling.    
       
  The top has the most silking (almost quilted) I have ever seen, made from Master Grade Engelmann Spruce, with a clear pickguard. The rosette is made from abalone with silver, blush and green tones, the abalone back strip and endpin seam with predominantly green and blush colors.  
         
  The solid Mahogany neck has an Ebony heelcap; the head has gold Schallers with Ebony buttons. The headstock is also bound with thin Ebony along with the same purfling. There is a bright green abalone and white pearl Goodall logo. The Ebony bridge pins and endpin are dressed with MOP dots. The saddle is fully compensated, and both the saddle and top nut are bone. Includes the OHSC.
