Solid mahogany body: one piece!
Curved flamed maple table: 2parties symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing
Mahogany: soft V and then gradually flattened
Ebony: very few inlays, very sober
22 frets
Scale: 24.75 "
1 humbucker Seymour Duncan Alnico 2
A micro thomann humbucker Seymour Duncan 59
Preamplifier High-Definition Revoicer: a switch
5positions a Strat style selector, 1 tone and 1 volume (both progressive)
Fixed bridge: black, style gibson, traversing ropes.
Color: natural, honey burst slightly
Supplied in bag: quilted, multiple pockets, very functional.

UTILIZATION

The handle: soft V and then gradually flattened, it is a particular decision, but we made it, then the agreements above the lower ranges
The heel is fine, and the lower part of the guitar is cut, thus facilitating access to acute (need to train too!)

The body thinner than Les Paul, with cut stomach as a Strat, the ergonomics are excellent, it does not weigh too heavy both sitting and standing with a thick strap, she plays very well (errors can he rest, sniff!)

Sound: the pickups are very good at the base (SD anyway!), The action is set low, without any frieze. Both pickups are over and split-selector, where 5 possible sounds.

SOUNDS

Amp: VHT 6w, lamps
Neck pickup: rather round, warm, soft
Bridge pickup: sharper, more incisive
the difference between the two microphones is marked, we like it or not ...
The doubles are very good in their field, not made to the extreme!

In split, they are the same sounds without the thickness of the humbucker, very well in clean!

The basic chords are fine, (the original strings are always a great place to make your fingers), then I put in 10-46 elixirs and last initial as standard strings, I prefer the latter, its looks better (it is still subjective!)

The HDR system is not a gimmick, but a reality, it enhances / develops the sound of each pickup is more accurate ((no room for mistakes!).

OVERALL OPINION

Spotted in stores in December 2009, I could try it with me 24 hours the next day it was purchased! The finish was natural, but the color was darker, like a honey burst LP ear that I had, I had to make a choice, the LP spike or Godin, I fell for this last parting from the the other, and I do not regret!
The seriousness of Godin's not a legend.
Like guitar or historical or very good instrument, you must choose, it's a compromise that fell within my budget, I chose!

Overall, this is a very good instrument, which certainly has not the aura of some brands but is quality, there is always more expensive better, but worse ...

PS: this is my first opinion, be gentle!
