The result was a guitar even Julie Andrews could love in "The Sound Of Music" making it one of the most popular guitars of the 1960s and still very much of desire today and at an affordable price for a close to 60 year old piece of American (Swedish style). The beautiful figuring of the back and look at the gorgeous grain in the mahogany where i am holding it up for an action height shot. Look, for example, at the cross silt (cross grain) in the top behind the bridge. Remembering that this was a time also of Martin and Gibson "FOLK" guitars as well (meaning nylon but w/out the enormous Flamenco neck). **** Also unlike most nylon string guitars made for classical the Goya has a more moderate neck girth for ease of playing. These Swedish made sweethearts were made out of extremely fine cuts of all solid woods for tone and beauty. if you were a student in the 1960s, were absolutely among the most popular folk guitars of the era and for VERY GOOD reason.
