Buckle your seat belt . . . this one is not for the faint of heart!

The Jumbo series is a true Jumbo sized guitar with a brilliance, balance and clarity that separates it from all the other Jumbos!

This instrument has a wonderfully musical, concert hall bass that can only be likened to a grand piano. But with all this bass there is still great focus, separation and sustain. It has, possibly, a bit more fullness and punch throughout the whole scale than the Standard -- a hard feat to achieve.

James has a special fondness toward the Jumbo series. This is not surprising since this is the guitar he first chose to build many years ago. The Jumbo can be used for vocal accompaniment, solo or even fingerstyle performing.


Goodall Jumbo series guitars are produced in five main styles:

  • Mahogany back and sides. Alaskan Sitka Spruce top. Rosewood or Curly Maple binding.
