I think 10s would be fine on it, but the 9s feel slick and give plenty of oomph. Goya guitars were an offshoot of Sweden’s Levin, and were an effort for the company to enter the US Market. This is an early 1990s Goya G-312 6-string dreadnaught. Strings are gauged 32w-9 and are the GHS A240 set. Hello Today we are going to look at something a little different today - a pretty cool budget acoustic guitar that I picked up from Craigslist. Setup notes: it plays perfectly with a straight neck and 1/16" action at the 12th fret.

Repairs included: a board plane and refret, side dots, new compensated rosewood bridge, cleating to the old back crack repair, general cleaning, perhaps a brace repair or two, and setup. It came back to me just as it left - ready to go - and I'd recently restrung it and set it up again, too. There'd been previous work done to this when I initially got it - some repaired cracks to the bass-side and a filled long hairline crack on the back - but I reinforced and cleated these where necessary and then did my own set of work on it. By 1961 and 62 production was down to 13 and 14. In 1954 Martin made just 75 of this model, and the following year another 75. People think that Martin made thousands of 000-28 guitars in Brazilian rosewood in the 1950s, but that is not even remotely true. It has enough wear and tear to make it "folksy" and approachable but the "love" has been done so that it plays bang-on and quick. We present to you one of the most difficult to find modern collectible models of the Martin Auditorium size guitar. It's not choppy like a bluegrass mandolin but it'll definitely bounce above a few guitars and a bass in a jam situation. 4096019, model G-45, with internal paper label printed Goya Music New York N.Y. Soundwise, it has a woody, folksy, clean sound and good punch/forward carrying-power. It was made in Sweden by said Levin company (we most-often come across their Goya classical guitars of the '50s and '60s over here) and, despite being a bit rough around the edges, is quite a nice little mando with and outsized voice for its size. Natural finish, 13-7/8' body, bound spruce top, birch back and sides, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, 18 frets, rosewood bridge, slotted headstock, 3-on-a-plate tuners, built in Sweden, 2' nut, 630mm scale.
#1954 goya classical guitar serial number#
The vintage Levin guitars website gave me the information needed to peg this as both a '54 per its serial number (at the top of the headstock) and as a Model 54 per its styling and features. Update 2020: I've updated this entire blog post with new pics, a new video, and new description.
