  RickD's review

  Characteristics

  - In What Country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France...)
  
  I believe this is Canadian and possibly part made in the USA but i'm not sure.
  
  Godin is Canadian, though.
  
  
  
  - How many frets, Pickup Type and Configuration?
  
  From memory i'd say it's a 22 with jumbo's.
  
  
  
  - What type of Bridge(Floyd, Wilkinson...)?
  
  Not sure but there is no tremolo and the strings go vertically through the body for added sustain. This bridge has an integral piezo pickup for the electro-acoustic sound (dedicated output) and a MIDI sensor inside too! Simply amazing!
  
  
  
  - What are the setting controls (volume, tone, pickup selector position)?
  
  An amazing array of controls on this magic piece of 'wood'...it's just full of electronics!
  
  Listen up:
  
  = volume & tone for the electric mics, with push-pull on the tone that carves out the mids for a gentler sound, very useful on rhythm. Electric output.
  
  = electro-acoustic preamp with 3 band EQ and volume. This uses a 9V battery, fairly easy to replace but you need a screwdriver. Dedicated output.
  
  = Midi volume and dedicated output. You'd plug this into a MIDI guitar expander, such as the Roland GR series, for instance.
  
  
  
  En extra switch lets you toggle what is sent to one of the outputs, so you can mix the sounds inside the guitar!
  
  Another switch let's you change MIDI presets!

  Utilization

  - Does the neck have a nice feel?
  
  The neck is fine! Just the right width for me...easy to play.
  
  
  
  - Easy access to the top notes (last frets)?
  
  Yep!
  
  
  
  - Is it's design ergonomic(in terms of the shape, weight...)?
  
  It's a bit heavy after a while, and real heavy to carry around, but...well...what did you expect? ;-) Probably no worse than a Les Paul...
  
  
  
  - Can one easily get a nice sound?...
  
  Hell yeah!

  Sounds

  You can do pretty much anything you like with this guitar, although i would suppose a metal-head would prefer a Jackson or an Ibanez...
  
  
  
  You can get jazzy sounds on the right amp, that electro-acoustic feel, or various electric sounds. Put it through a TC G-Force and you'll have an even wider palette to play with...it's a very versatile guitar.
  
  
  
  I love that jazzy warm sound you get on a tube amp with the neck mic on and the tone half way.
  
  But this is great too on a british 70's tube amp with distortion on 5 or 7...

  Overall Opinion

  I've had it for about 8 years.
  
  The wood used is probably not the best, apparently Godin guitars 'move' a bit with age...so you might want to get the harmonics reset every year or so.
  
  
  
  Overall, a fantastically versatile guitar with almost endless possibilities. Probably not the best electric in the world, but pretty damn good i say!
  
  The guitar itself feels precious. You can just FEEL it's a good guitar! :-)
  
  
  
  Watch out not to leave the case or guitar in a damp environment. Some of the metal parts on the case have gone rusty...and even some of the less used frets are showing signs of rust. This, of course, won't happen in a normal environment.

  Characteristics

  Idem previous opinion

  Utilization

  Round a little wider than most solid body electric guitars, flat button. Thanks to the ergonomics and the profile of the handle, the result is amazing: perfect playability in all styles (pick, finger style ...)
  
  The cominaison separate settings for 3-way provides any sound and fits all styles and all the amps.

  Sounds

  All sounds are excellent. It is certainly the most versatile guitar on the market, with high precision both in the clear with the large saturation

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for two years without finding any fault;
  
  The price seems high but this must the quality / price is great especially for the occasion.

  It has everything a great ............. This is a great

  Sounds

  First and foremost, this type of guitar has to possder excellent acoustic sound. These instruments, when not connected, produce may not be a sound volume lev but do not mprenez. The weight and density of the wood used the quality and type of fixing the handle to the body of the instrument, the choice of the bridge and the nut all have a significant impact on the final rendering. The next time you are in a pice silent, surrounded by electric guitars, scrape a few chords while laying your ear on the body of the instrument. It is this sound to be amplified by the sensors.
  
  
  
  Body and sleeves in Saddle RALIS drive from northeastern Canada. The drive shafts Saddle possdent several advantages, as the first to offer an excellent rponse in the high frequencies and for the hard amliorer sustained notes. Another advantage RSID remarkable stability in the sleeves that can provide

  Overall Opinion

  The rich sound of the mahogany tables in the remarkable figure as well as the Saddle intgration harmonious best electronic components The elements are the basis of this guitar. It is beautifully finished in hand, she is as comfortable and attractive.
