    Hello, my friend has what seams to be a 1961 Goya, semi hollow, archtop electric. It has hagstrom pickups, bigsby set up. It was made in sweden, also levin is a name attached to this guitar. Would like to find a picture of it and information. Possibly would like to buy another one. Thanks for your time.

      Goya was a brand of guitar originally made in Sweden. Levin was former brand name and owner, mainly in Europe.
      They were bought and imported by Martin Guitars for some years.

      There are many variations of Goya guitars-I have an early ’60’s acoustic flat top Goya that is in poor shape, but has a wonderful tone. Most of the Goyas I have seen over the years are well made and can be good players.

      The company was later importing Hagstrom guitars re-labeled as Goyas, and went out of business completely in the late 1990’s.
