Goya Rangemaster 1xx?

Post by alvinstraight » Sun May 30, 2021 2:19 am

Couldn't resist picking this up at a bargain price. Let's just say I offered them 7 times what they had listed it for, and it was still only about the equivalent of $150. Bit of a mystery model, seems to have features from both the 105 (dots instead of blocks and the simpler headstock inlay) and the 107 (Hagstrom tremolo and higher end bridge). Still don't have it in my hands, but looks like an interesting one. Anyone here have any experience with these higher-end Goyas?

Awesome Score! Gorgeous old Goya.
I had the solid body rangemaster with the hideous headstock. I left it behind with a friend during a move, and will likely never see it again, but it was a fun guitar.

Amazing! Looks like it will be a fun guitar. That pickup switching matrix looks to give you a hell of alot of options.

Busy with work, so have not had a chance to plug this in yet. But here are some quick photos. Really liking the feel of the Hagstrom trem-system! It's got quite a few cracks in the finish, but seems structurally sound

I absolutely love it.
And there's only one for sale in France, at exactly 10times the price you got, well done!
