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, and the brand's reputation lives in player-to-player word-of-mouth more than marketing.
The Music Zoo
On Long Island in Farmingdale, The Music Zoo has been a destination for collectible and custom-shop instruments since 1994, its close factory relationships bringing in runs made to the shop's own specifications. The acoustic room leans to the top of the majors' catalogs — Martin Custom Shop flat-tops, Gibson Custom Shop and Murphy Lab reissues, and top-tier Taylor — with Huss & Dalton and Goodall adding a boutique thread. Comfortable playing rooms and a collector's eye make it a rare full-line shop with real high-end acoustic depth.
