Made in Canada.
See detailed specifications Godin directly on the site since it is still in the catalog.
UTILIZATION
The handle is nice even if in hindsight it seemed a bit too late for my paws.
The varnish is very good and everything slides alone.
The guitar is heavy often guarantee of quality but it can like or not.
This is not to criticize because a priori there is plenty to be happy and yet I never got the sound I wanted.
SOUNDS
At home I use it with a Roland Cube 30x. (See my review on this amp).
By trying to maybe make it a versatile guitar too, Godin has done something in common, fairly common I would say. Maybe I'll be pretty tough but this is only my opinion. I tell you what I feel, but it limits bad compared to what I expected from this manufacturer rightly deemed as a whole, Godin customers are satisfied with their instrument.
Does it come from my side so difficult and demanding ...? Am I wrong model to make the music I like? Should I have to keep it longer to deepen the settings?
I play blues, rock and hard rock and I've never been satisfied with the result.
This guitar has no soul and does not match the quality of his violin.
I quite agree with the advice of Stof 79 (see his opinion on the maple neck exit 22) on the microphones. I think he would have had to make adjustments, change the pickups to see things better.
In addition, the 2 models exit 22 (New I said) I've had (since I exchanged the first thought to have fallen on the wrong number) were rather similar in terms of "footprint" sound even if the second rang a little better. All this discouraged me, if we have a new guitar ..... rebricoler
OVERALL OPINION
Approximately 6 months of use. But nothing to do, she did no more.
The microphones were attached to the first beam, the bridge pickup did not work (welding defect) and the height of the blocks (fixed non-adjustable after the factory) of these were settled kind of oddly random. As proof, the second model showed that I had almost the same fault but on other blocks in other places.
Ultimately, I am persuaded by the mark and the high quality of the violin. But this is not everything.
It is not very expensive but will always be too expensive if it does not suit us. In my case, value for money is bad.
Small manufacturing defects, installation of microphones (crooked), drilling too deep on one of the screws of the selector and, frankly (!), A screw missing on the bridge (on the second model) forces me to say that quality control is nonexistent at Godin. My dealer told me that Paris is normal on a guitar of this price (!) And that much more expensive option models also have defects (!!!).
+ Godin in a mail without answer them completely insane ...
Maybe it's my fault, I had to choose a Godin LG ...?
In short, this guitar does not convince me, far away. It should, of course, other musicians and it is therefore relativize hard I've said here.
Pros:
fine making
nice handle
nice look
Cons:
e-far from convincing
manufacturing defects
sound soulless
I changed no regret for a Gibson SG Supreme certainly more expensive but what a change! (See my review).
