Thread Name: The 70s-Bad decade for Guitars-Why?
Subject: RE: The 70s-Bad decade for Guitars-Why?
I have a 1964 Goya G-13 (classical, made in Sweden) which is the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen or owned. She is perfect for that kind of intricate work (intonation [all of the way up the neck], action, timbre, etc.)

Came 1973 and I needed a 12 string, so I bought a used (date unknown) G-65 (also "made in Sweden). It was a dog for anything but open chords and big sound. The action was terrible. In 1997 I took off the harmony strings and used it for a blues axe... terrible action and all.

I've been nurturing it along. I guess I feel sorry for it. But, I have a suspicion it IS NOT a real Goya.
