Nice Guitar ! I've always had a soft spot for these axes, as David Lindley (one of my favourite musicians ) used one as his main guitar on his first Solo album "El Rayo-Ex" back in '1981-ish. I recall him telling Guitar Player Magazine that he would'nt take it on the road, as he'd "never seen another one like it". Goya also applied the Rangemaster model name to a totally switch & knob-laden hollowbody at some point..Steve will no doubt have a catalogue ! Thanks for sharing, great photo's, too !

Oh yeah Jeff, I've got the catalog! 
I've always been strangely attracted to that headstock myself, but I've never made the leap to purchase/play one of the solidbody Rangemasters. I agree with sneakypete, that route probably meets the technical definition of a hollowbody! I do have one of the "real" hollowbody versions and I've used her on a few recordings. I been very satisfied with the results. Of course, that pickup selector console looks like a mix-master and is a bit noisy on mine, but when you get it dialed up it gets quiet and behaves quite nicely. Thanks for the documentation wedgehed; Well done! sb

Just a note, I think you can find goya cases once in a while on ebay.
like this one i just found:

it should fit your guitar, though it may have been for one of the hollowbody rangemasters...
