Goya classical guitar model names are prefixed with a "G". These models came in concert or grand concert sizes. The cheapest (the G-10) had birch back and sides and the more expensive models had eithe mahogany or rosewood back and sides.
These models were made in Sweden by the Levin company and have an interior paper label with the Goya trademark in a script style, which reads"Made by A.B. Herman Carlson Levin - Gothenburg, Sweden".
Just to confuse things, some steel stringed Goya models of the Martin era (1970s to 1996) were also prefixed with a "G".
