    Looking at your site brought to mind the Goya Rangemaster CQ I played all through the seventies. It was covered with Dutch corduroy completely covered in flowers of all sorts. It was an eye full and a great guitar. Since I sold mine in the eighties to pay for grad school I haven’t seen another and days of searching the net have left a big blank except for one poor picture showing Jimi Hendrix playing one with a different design on it. I’m just dropping this message to see if anyone has ever seen one. An old Goya catalogue has a sample of the fabric pictured that is about 1’x 1′. I think if I could find one I’d buy it because it’s probably my old one. Thanks
