Godin Artisan ST III

Canadian guitar
Bolt and affects reported maple "bird's eye" rather thin frets 22 frets.
2-piece maple body with a carved table in two parts over one inch thick in the middle!
mechanical oil bath godin
A 5-way switching
1 vol, 1 tone
2 microphones and a simple double "godin"

UTILIZATION

Very nice pretty close to a stratum and also comfortable.
access to the last box is no problem until the rope is La. .. say!
The weight is very reasonable (as opposed to "all mahogany) and the shape is very nice both sitting and standing (or other ...? .
Disconnected, it is already developing a very good dynamic sound ... very good sign.
Connected there is no background noise, the settings are very progressive and efficient, they greatly affect the sound reproduction.
The 2 are quite simple but fenderiens "cleaner"
I changed the double for SH4 is sublime (mighty and bold)

SOUNDS

You can do anything with this guitar given the microphone configuration.
In any case a bandit 112 without any effect is magical.
Like all gear positions.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a lot of guitar brands.
This is above its exceptional violin and ranks among the best in versatility and quality of its sound.
1200 euros is a very correct amount for this category of instrument.
