Brad Goodman, of Goodman Guitars, has been hand crafting amazing instruments out of Brewster, NY for nearly 50 years. His selection of woods, amazing eye for detail and incredible ear for tone have been the ingredients to building some truly fantastic guitars.

This 1998 custom ordered Model EL17 in Lefty, is a shining example of his work. A beautifully made 17" x 3.25" bodied guitar, finished in natural, constructed with amazing curly maple on the back and sides, a fantastically grained spruce top with amazing projection, 3 piece flame maple neck, ebony board, ebony bridge, ebony tailpiece and wired up with a Gibson 57 Classic pickup. An amazing offering for the Pro Lefty jazz player out there!

Overall, this guitar is in great condition, displaying only some light honest player wear and a couple small dings. Frets are in great shape, truss works perfectly and the guitar plays & sounds truly fantastic!

Comes complete with hardshell case. Please email or call with any questions.
