It's very well possible that your father bought the guitar with the pickguard installed. I did speak with my Father this evening, he said that he bought it Brand New in Los Angeles / Downtown Maybe Magnus can weigh in on its originality.

I did have some mail contact with Jack 3 or 4 years ago, even bought a couple of his nice T-shirts, but all my emails over the 3 last years have been without reply. Jack Walsh´s Vintage Goya pages at tripod have not been updated since 2004, and I saw most of his instruments being auctioned off on ebay some years ago. It shure is a pretty picture of the young Julie Andrews, apparently taken at the set in between shootings. It is clearly visible on this picture but I haven´t been able to spot it in the clips I have watched from the movie. One interresting detail, which was something Goran also mentioned, is that none of the film maker took notice that the instrument actually had the Goya logo on the headstock.

Not until yesterday did I find a good picture confirming that the guitar in the movie actually has the pinbridge of the F-series. Goran Levin was personally involved in the delivery. The F-19 was gloss finish but this one was matted on special request from the film company. I was told 2 years ago by Goran Levin that it was in fact an F-19, big bodied steelstring guitar. We have discussed in the past the Goya model used in the sound of Music movie, which is often said to be a G-13 matte finish.
Mike, a bit off topic to this thread, but I thought You might be interrested to see a picture I ran across on internet the other day. birch, I ave never seen or heard of any G-10:s with maple bodies but that doesn´t mean they don´t exist. My guess is it has been added after delivery from the factory in Gothenburg. I have never ever come across such a pickguard on a Levin or Goya instrument, and the G-10 also did not come with a pickguard. The information I have is that zip codes were itroduced in NY in july 1963, which fits well to this.
I would say number 116114 can be dated to 1962 with pretty good confidence.
#Goya classical guitar used serial numbers#
Follow this link for a very good mapping of Goya serial numbers for all relevant periods in time: Rikard Magnevil has done a great job in documenting all types of Goya labels he has come across, which includes all of my Goya instruments. The best source of information for Goya and Levin is without doubt the Levin pages at homepage of Vintage Guitars in Stockholm.
