Great site for information on Goya, Levin and "Goya" Greco brand guitars
The only site in the world dedicated to Goya guitars - as well as Levin and "Goya" Greco brand guitars. Learn about the history of these fine musical instruments. Lots of old magazine ads, catalogs and price lists.
GOYA GRECO GUITAR 6 STRING CLASSIC MODEL C19 SERIAL #8299
This was purchased in 1968...Excellant condition....Was wondering if anyone knew how much this would be worth???
Levin Guitars
Levin guitars are not 'Japanese copies' They were made in Sweden I seem to remember.
I bought a 'Jumbo' nearly fifty (ouch!) years ago and it served me well.
It wasn't cheap, but they say that 'quality lingers after the price is forgotten'
Certainly true in my case.
model g 10. serial # 303438
Goya guitar made in Switzerland around the 60, can you tell me the market value ?
Goya G-10 made in Sweden
Hi,
Your guitar was made end 1964, but not in Switzerland but in Sweden !
It'll have the 5 digit Zip code 10010 on the label.
The value of the guitar isn't too high as this was the low end of the range.

How old is my Goya?
I have a Goya Acoustic
Model # M-24 Serial # 20c121
It is in awesome shape just has a little wear on the front of body under the pick guard. everything else is in excellent condition.
just wondering the age and value.
Goya M-24
Your guitar is made in spring 1962. so half a century old !
Serial Number is indeed 20C121, the C was used because the 6 was missing at the time of applying the label.
The value might be a couple of hundred dollars, if the wear on the front isn't too heavy.
Enjoy !

Goya s-18
I have a GOYA s-18...serial number 159019
Can you tell me the year?
Has the LEVIN truss cover emblem
dots on fretboard
goya headstock
no serial number on headstock...
another matching serial number on inside "side" of the guitar
Also any idea of value?
I love the sound but may sell if it is worth $$!
Goya S-18
Hi M.D.,
On the label you'll read 'GOYA GUITARS INC., 10 N.Y.'.
This indicates that the guitar is made before the 5-digit ZIP-code was introduced.
There is no Serial Number List available, but I estimate that your guitar was made end 1960.
The value of the guitar depends a lot on its condition, so I cannot advice you on that.
But if you love the sound, my advice is not to sell it !

Possible F-27 but wrong bridge and NO MODEL NUMBER
I have acquired a Goya Guitar that does not seem to appear in any of the catalogs (on vintage-guitars.se or on goyaguitars.tripod.com sites).
I have put some photos on my website. Access www.tdziebarth.com and select "Goya Guitar" to get to my Picasa Album. You can blow up any of the photos you need to.
My dimensions MATCH a Goliath size guitar: Overall 39 1/4 high, body 20" high, upper bout 11 3/4", lower bout 15 7/8", depth 4 1/2".
It appears to have a flame maple back and sides (by wood grain) and is a rich red-brown mahogany color.
Looking inside, it does have 6 holes under the bridge in about the right position/size/shape to have been bridge pin holes.
The odd things seem to be:
1. There is NO MODEL NUMBER printed on the label inside! The serial# is 190415. This serial number is also stamped on the inside of the side.
2. It has pick guards on the face, but a nylon-string type bridge. It has nylon strings.
3. It has a rosewood bridge with two bone/ivory strips through it much like the ones used on later models with steel strings
4. It's label has the pre-zip configuration stating Goya Guitars Inc., New York 10, New York implying 1964 or earlier
5. Much of it is like perhaps a 1964 F-27, but the bridge is wrong.
6. The Goya catalog for F-27 says it should have "non-adjustable T-shaped duraluminum truss rod". I see no evidence of this (if it should be visible) on either the headstock, nor inside the body.
I have been unable to find an exact match for all the parts in any of the photos on these two websites.
Might it be some "trial" configuration, or is it a classical F-27 with it's bridge replaced?
The F-27 catalog description says it has "fan bracing" - if you can tell me what this is I will look for it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
possible F-27
Hi,
An Goya F-27 with Serial Number 190412 has been offered in the past thru Ebay. That's close to your Serial Number of 190415 !
All features are in line with a F-27 Goya Guitar, except the bridge.
So please look at the inside of the guitar.
If the inside of the guitar, below the bridge, still shows the six holes for the steel string pegs, then this bridge must be a later addition.
If not, then the guitar must have been built like this - but that's not very likely in my opinion.
Good luck!
And let us know.

Goya Medalist Series M-30
Hi, is there any info out there about these guitars? I'm guessing they were made post Goya being owned by Martin? It seems like everyone ignores posts about this range so I'm guessing that's because they're not rated very well?
Looks to me like they sport a laminated top...
Any kind of info on these guitars would be much appreciated.
I wonder if 'George' from the Vintage Goya Guitar site ever reads this...

Greco 12-string model no. 627k Kustom Electronics
Hello, can anyone give me any information on this guitar? It is an acoustic, not electric. Serial No. 26301. Designed, service and adjusted by Kustom Electronics, Inc.
At the moment I am trying to figure out how to re-laminate the area around the bridge where someone removed the old bridge and some of the laminate or whatever that shiny paint is also came off. Before I put on the new bridge that area needs to be repainted. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

goya acoustic
My grandfather recently passed away, i found a guitar of his.Has anyone ever heard of a goya g-140? Could u please tell me about it?
Re: goya acoustic
Chris,
G-140, or GG-140, was a 3/4 size nylon-string guitar which was designed at Levin in co-operation with a well-known luthier in Sweden in the 50:s and 60:s, Georg Bolin.
It was meant as an up-class "student-guitar" for young people starting to play. It is solide woods, alp spruce top over mahogany body. It is a nice little guitar.

Goya M22 acoustic guitar/ Made in Sweden
Hello,
Can anyone contribute information about this guitar. It is in its original case. I was told it is only worth about $100.00. I think they are wrong. Although I was asked to leave it at the shop for an estimate on minor repairs. This guitar by far feels and sounds great for its age.
Thanks
Re: Goya M22 acoustic guitar/ Made in Sweden
They regularly go for 200-300$ on Ebay. It was the lowest in the line of steelstringed flattops of the 50:s and 60:s but it is a solid wood with adjustable trussrod. The M-22 was birch back and sides. It has a bolted neck so a neck reset is fairly low cost.

Re: Levin Guitar Models
: I have a Stradivarius model identical to the one advertised on e-bay, its serial number is 372121. It is an excellent instrument.
I have a Levin Stradivarius acoustic guitar. It was made in Sweden but I can't find a serial number. I acquired it in late 1950's, from a friend so don't know how old it is. I would like to know it's value.
Re: Levin Guitar Models
Hugh, If you look on the top of the head of the guitar you will see the serial number stamped in the wood.The age can then be determined. Stradivarius models were made around 1958-9. I have seen them advertised between $450 and $750.
M-24 series Goya guitar
I have a Goya guitar, serial #375093 M-24 series and I was wondering if the exact age and worth is known.
Re: M-24 series Goya guitar
I would say that this guitar is covered by the Levin serial lists, it is if the label says "Made By Herman Carlsson Levin, Gothenburg Sweden". This makes it model year 1958.
Value?
Last one I saw sold on Ebay went for aprox $450.
