About Goodall Guitars
Goodall Guitars are built in Sparta, Tennessee by a father-son shop — James Goodall, his son Luke, and Jean Goodall running the business side. James built his first guitar in San Diego in 1972 as a self-taught seascape painter who traded an oil painting for the tonewoods (this was before guitar-construction books existed; he learned from scratch). Fifty-plus years later, the operation has stayed small and family-run, building hand-made instruments across thirteen body sizes and five series. The Goodall design language favors restrained appointments — the woods carry the visual weight. James Taylor has played a Goodall as his primary acoustic for decades; the brand's reputation lives in player-to-player word-of-mouth more than marketing.
About Organic Sounds Select Guitars
Organic Sounds Select Guitars is Larry and Debbie's family-run shop on N. Tustin Avenue in central Santa Ana, in the heart of Orange County. The shop's name doubles as its philosophy: "the right instrument feels alive in your hands, it feels organic" is the marketing line, and the curation reflects that — a focused, intentional catalog of around 300 instruments rather than a high-volume retail floor. The active boutique acoustic shelf runs deep on Huss & Dalton (one of the deepest H&D inventories in the atlas) and Santa Cruz (vintage 1929-D, Tony Rice signature, 50th Anniversary, and OM-Skye coverage), with rotating Lowden, Goodall, Gallagher, McNally, Olson, Waterloo, Kevin Ryan, Preston Thompson, TreeHouse, and Bourgeois. The storefront also hosts a periodic live concert series featuring touring acoustic players, and the shop is a short drive from the Anaheim Convention Center (home of the winter NAMM show). For Southern California boutique-acoustic shoppers — especially those tracking H&D — Organic Sounds is one of the deepest in-person catalogs in the region.
