Goya 1966 guitar catalog. Page 4. Details of three members of the semi-acoustic Goya Rangemaster series, models: 105, 107 and 109, with the 109B (blonde finish) pictured. The name Rangemaster relates to the wide tonal range of the pickups; each consists of two separate coils covering two strings only. These guitars were made in Italy by accordion manufacturers Polverini, then badged Goya. The main difference between these three guitars was the body shape: the 105 having a single Venetian cutaway (see next page), the 107 a single Florentine cutaway, and the 109 a double Florentine cutaway. Only the 109B was available with blonde finish, and this had a maple front back and sides, rather than the mahogany of all other finishes.
The January 1966 US list price for either the blonde or sunburst finished model was $399. This was a significant amount; actually $9 more than the very well-regarded Gibson ES-175D.
