Original and very rare vintage 1960s Goya Rangemaster Bass Made in Italy! Bass is completely original and remarkably clean. Neck is straight and plays great all the way up and down. Electronics are also clean and work great. Has a real warm and fat tone and everything is working perfectly. A wonderful example for the player and collector alike.
Brand of the Hershman Musical Instrument Company of New York which has distributed a large range of guitars since the 1950s including the Swedish Levin and Hagström. With the explosion of the beat and the great demand for electric instruments, it was supplied in Italy by Zerosette and Galanti. In 1966 Avnet acquired the famous Guild brand, and the following year it also bought the Goya brand. Therefore, the extreme similarity between the Goya semi-acoustics and those of the Guild seems not accidental.
