I am going with laminate until I figure out otherwise. The neck is mahogany with a rosewood overlay and a silkscreen inlaid logo that is fading, and the fretboard is rosewood too. The bridge is painted to look like ebony. This guitar had been played regularly and was kept in a loving home, so it did not really need much attention when I got it. It has a good set-up and there are no repairs or unsightly damage to speak of. The neck has a pleasantly rounded profile that is fairly slim and fast, and the tone is very rich and loud. The sounds is well balanced from string to string, though I think it would be nice to find a compensated bridge saddle as the intonation is just a touch off. Also, the sealed tuners are cheap and do not hold as well as I would like them to. But, it is certainly good enough for anything I will be doing with it, especially at the bargain basement price I paid for it. I rarely see Goya guitars on the market as once players get their hands on them they do not let them go. If you have one, post a comment below, I am curious what you think! Generally they are solid instruments, but it is a good idea to try before you buy (be careful with eBay), as I have run into a few clunkers and shoddy repairs. Just picked up one of these, with a nice case, for $40.00.

The saddle is very low, but taking the straightedge from the fretboard to the top of the bridge, it just misses clearance, so I don't think it is near a neck reset. String height in front of the bridge, from soundboard to strings about 3/8" approx. Cutting it close, and again, with a very low saddle. Whomever had this used needle-nose pliers to remove the bridge pins. Made in Korea - my guess is early 80's, as the truss rod is inside the guitar like the Yamaha FGii models of the same era. The thing booms, with strings probably two years old, or more. Hoping I can get another saddle and maybe get a little lower action w/the truss rod, as I think there may be relief there (bending the neck back a bit gives me this hope!) I know truss rod adjustments have nothing to do really w/action, but I think an adjustment will help (how can it hurt?!) Action about 1/8" at the bass E, but again, with hardly any saddle. There is basically no break-angle at the treble E. Not much break angle in the other stings. Still, it sounds pretty good!Ī bit of bellying behind the bridge, but nothing radical.
GOYA CLASSICAL GUITAR USED MAHOGANY SERIAL
#MARTIN GOYA CLASSICAL GUITAR SERIAL NUMBER#.I'm asking $999.99 but might consider some bartering for good classical electric cutaway. This is being sold "as is" and I will be posting pictures soon. I can furnish a case if needed or wanted but this will add to the shipping costs so it's up to buyer. As expected the finish has crazing and a few scratches but nothing serious. One seems to have been cleated but I will leave the others as is so that the buyer can decide what he wants to do. There are couple of cracks on the soundboard but they don't affect playability. The action is very good and the neck and body are straight. I have silk and.steel strings on it and this baby just purrs. I'm fairly certain that it is a mid 60's model and it's a great player. The serial is gone and an examination of the interior offered no help. The label was torn but still retains the maker, and address.

The fretboard has the bass side dot markers and the frets are in good condition. have a very nice, solid wood (rare) and highly collectable Goyá F25 for sale. My songwriting has been empty since that guitar has been gone.

In the story of lost love, this has been a love lost to me. It was bought by my Mom for me in Beaumont Texas for $350 USD. It had a label inside indicating it was "handmade in Sweden". No one ever called.įor you Goya patrons, you know the ache that's inside when you've played a Goya and then it's gone. I saw it, touched it, it was older, a bit more worn but still beautiful in its golden felt case. At that same pawn shop in the eighties, I came close. Picks, capo, cleaning cloth, all the necessities for your guitar- were in the case. I went to a pawn shop in south Austin and pawned my handmade in Sweden, acoustic 6 steel stringed with hardshell gold felt case. I was in college in Austin Texas and ran short of cash.
