A Levin Goliath was my first decent guitar, back in 1966 - my recollection is that the sunburst models cost £45 (UK), & the blond-topped ones £54 - mine was a second-hand sunburst that I paid £28 for, I see the same models now going for several hundred! (but then the '48 Martin OOO-28 that I paid £150 for would now fetch c£15000!) Yes, they were fine guitars, tho there seemed to be a drop-off in quality around 1970, when they changed the design somewhat; wish I still had my old one tho! & even more, that Martin!
