 GOODALL GUITARS | | Instruments currently built in Kailua-Kona, HI. Distributed by Goodall Guitars, Inc. of Kailua-Kona, HI. | Luthier James Goodall grew up in Spring Valley, California. Apparently, there must be something in the water, for a number of high profile luthiers (such as Greg Deering, Geoff Stelling, and Larry and Kim Breedlove) have sprung from the same area. Prior to building his first acoustic guitar, Goodall's woodworking experience was limited to his surfboard building during high school (of course, having a father with wood carving knowledge certainly helps). After his initial success, Goodall began building guitars for friends, which lead to a backlog of orders by the mid-1970s. Goodall moved to full-time guitar building in 1972.
In 1984, Goodall relocated his shop to Mendocino, California. From 1984 to 1992, he averaged around forty guitars a year. In 1992, Goodall moved off the mainland to Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. His shop now has nine employees, and shipsten instruments a week.
