The G 140 or GG140 was the Goya version of Levin model 140, which was a 3/4 size student guitar developed by Levin in cooperation withthe swedish luthier Georg bolin. As a Goya it was introduced in 1969 and most that I have heard about have had the 'Distriuted by Dude' label.

H.C. Levin from Sweden had worked in the United States as a trainee at the Martin Guitar Company, as did his son just before World War I. H.C. went back to Sweden and formed the Levin Guitar company.The 'Goya' name comes from Francisco Jose de Goya, the famous 18th century Spanish painter known as the father of modern art (Francisco drew a lot of Spanish guitar players too). The Goya trademark was originally used by the Hershman Musical Instrument Company of New York City, New York in the 1950's on models built by Sweden's Levin Company (similiar models were sold in Europe under the company's Levin trademark). Levin built high quality acoustic flattop, classical, and archtop guitars as well as mandolins.
The distribution for Goya guitars went from Hershman to Kustom Electronics Inc. in 1970 and then over to Dude Inc. (both of Chanute, Kansas) in late 1972. The Goya brand then went to the C. F. Martin Guitar Company, located in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, in 1974 when they acquired Levin, and Goya guitars were distributed by Martin until 1996. While this trademark is currently discontinued, the rights to the name are still held by the Martin Guitar Company. The Goya Company featured a number of innovations that most people are not aware of. Goya was the first classic guitar line to put the trademark name on the headstock, and also created the ball end classic guitar string.
Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac fame composed her first song 'I've Loved and I've Lost' with a Goya guitar, her very first guitar, given to her by her parents on her sixteenth birthday. Asked during a MTV interview, 'How long, actually, have you been composing songs?' she answered, 'Since my 16th birthday, the day I got my Goya guitar. I wrote a song that day.' Another great artist that used a Goya guitar in all her songs was Melanie. If you ever saw the 1967 movie 'The Sound of Music' then you saw Julia Andrews playing a classical Goya guitar. Another artist associated with Goya guitars is Mason Williams, who gave us the great guitar instrumental 'Classical Gas.' His second guitar was a Goya which he bought in 1958.
This is way more than you needed to know to consider this Goya G110 guitar. Martin distributed this model from 1978 to 1986, and it has served many musicians well over the years. Despite its classical configuration, it was frequently played as a “folk” instrument.
Goya Guitar G314b
This one is in very condition, but it has a few nicks and bruises, as you might expect. While it has a mis-matched set of strings, it still sounds amazingly good, and it’s the perfect to fiddle with on the porch, around the kitchen table, or other intimate venues.
The included chip board case is in good usable condition as well, and offers more than adequate protection.
Buyer pays a flat rate of $55 for insurance and shipping to the lower 48 states; shipping costs elsewhere will be negotiated as necessary. Payments by Paypal, cashier’s checks, or personal checks are acceptable, but checks must clear before the guitar will be shipped.
I have made every effort to describe and illustrate this guitar and case with scrupulous accuracy. Please read the description carefully, check out the pictures, and ask any questions you might have before offering to buy it. Its return will not be accepted unless it can be shown that it was egregiously misrepresented in this listing.
Thank you for your interest in this cool guitar!
Today is a good day I would suppose.I ran over to one of my old friends houses whom I don't see very often. He is heading off to college Sept. 1st to finish his degree and is trying to get rid of useless shit in his house. He doesn't play guitar and had this acoustic lying around from some house party he had AGES ago. Some stupid kid left it there. I am assuming its really not that valuable, considering the kid left it, oh, at someones house.
He got wind that I had started playing guitar and asked if I wanted it, told me it would be a fixer cause it had been lying around his house for, well, ages.
It is indeed a fixer-upper (Well kinda...) It needs new strings and a new nut (missing it, where the hell it is, G-d only knows.
