MGR/Ben « Godin SD »
Published on 12/26/03 at 15:00I bought this guitar at the local music store in Mechelen, Belgium.I think there aren't many stores in Belgium that sell Godin, that's a shame. I paid 499 Euros for the guitar (about 500 dollar). The guitar came with a padded gigbag.
I absolutely love the feel about this guitar it really plays great. The neck feels really really good, and is pretty fast. It has lots of different sounds because its a single-single-humbucker set up. This guitar is really good.
The fact that the high notes get lost if the upper snares are still ringing, but a little twisting of knobs can fix this. The tone knob is starting to get loose to, which is quite anoying.
The construction is fantastic.I really can't believe that it didn't cost more. The shape looks like a mix between a fender telecaster and a gibson les paul. It has a sparkly black finish with a cream pickguard and black pickups. A really nice guitar.
When I walked in the shop that day I had my mind set on a Epiphone les paul of SG, and I played them, but then the shop keeper said I should try this brand, and said it defenitly could compare to fender and gibson. I didn't know the brand and I really was pleasently surprised because it did sound much much better than the les paul and SG, and was cheaper. At first I thought it wouldn't fit my style because I mostly play metal and hardcore, but it adapted well, and gives a nice hard sound most of the time. This guitar is really fantastic, If I lost it, I would defenitly buy it again.
