- Guitar made in Canada
- Equipped with a 2-point vibrato on which the sensors are piezo (for his "sound" and the synth)
- The neck is mahogany with ebony fingerboard
- The body is silver maple with poplar wings, all covered with a maple top beautiful.
- The pickups are two humbuckers GODIN and a single.
- 3 knobs (volume + tone microphones, synth volume), a switch (Guitar solo / guitar + synth / synth solo) and a switch for selection of synth patches or her options by config pedalier synthesizer used.
- On the upper wing, 4 mini faders for adjusting the micro piezo (volume, bass, mid, treble)
- 1 5-way switch (micro serious / serious "single / single / single acute + / mic acute)
- 2 output jacks (humbuckers-single/humbuckers-single + piezo) + 1 synth output (21 pin)

UTILIZATION

- The handle is round and its quite pleasant touch, as is the ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets
- It's a pretty heavy guitar and well balanced. The various knobs are well laid out.
- Access to treble is correct, the heel of the neck is slightly thinner.
- The mix of all sources gives a max of sounds. The piezo adds teeth if used mixed with humbuckers. Used alone, it can sound very clean, sound closer to a dedicated amplifier. The synthesizer allows all possible delusions.

SOUNDS

Sound is a chameleon! The microphones that equip remain very clean, but the quality of volume and tone potentiometers allow precise dosing different microphones for a sound measure. So the lens of fat, they also allow "cruncher" but still accurate. According to the amp used (electric or electro-acoustic), this guitar suits all styles, but not for heavy metal drooling either!

OVERALL OPINION

+:
In short, I repeat, is a chameleon of sound, already by the accuracy of microphones and settings. In addition, the violin is superb, it's really a beautiful guitar. And if you are looking for a guitar capable of driving a synth, do not look any further, Godin guitars are a reference in this field, the sensors are optimized, and the ebony fingerboard improves the accuracy of game controller keyboards.

-:
Say it is perhaps not a guitar shredder: a rather thick neck, a tremolo style stratosphere (so that if you disagree bullies too), clean instead of microphones ...

I use this guitar for a year. I paid about 900 € and considering the quality is not stolen, even at list price (+ € 1400) so I would do without this choice problem.
