Founded in 1972 by Robert Godin in La Patrie, Quebec, Godin is one of Canada's most significant guitar manufacturers, operating five factories across three locations in Quebec. The family-owned company — now led by Robert's sons Simon and Patrick — produces roughly 175,000 instruments annually and serves as the parent organization for six distinct guitar brands: Godin, Seagull, Norman, Art & Lutherie, Simon & Patrick, and La Patrie.
The Godin flagship line is best known for innovation at the intersection of acoustic and electric design. The Multiac series, offered in steel-string and nylon-string configurations, combines piezo and magnetic pickup systems to give players a hybrid instrument capable of convincingly covering both worlds. Other notable lines include the Session, Stadium, and LGXT models, with the company consistently sourcing tonewoods from northeastern North America.
Godin has attracted a diverse roster of notable players including Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Alex Lifeson (Rush), Roger Waters, Tony Iommi, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo, and Steve Stevens. Signature models include the Alex Lifeson Lerxst and the Steve Stevens ACS Nylon 25th Anniversary edition. The brand occupies a respected niche among players seeking high-quality, Canadian-made instruments at competitive price points.
Godin has 174 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars, Acoustic-Electric Guitars, and Classical & Nylon-String Guitars. Their gear is featured by 148 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Jazz. Notable users include Steve Stevens, Alex Skolnick, and Daryl Stuermer.
