Description

When versatility meets craftsmanship, the Godin LGX-SA stands as an exemplar of modern guitar innovation. Designed for musicians who crave both electric and acoustic tones in a single instrument, this solid body electric guitar offers a daring blend of sophistication and sonic flexibility. At its core, a pair of Seymour Duncan custom humbuckers delivers rich and resonant electric sounds, while the acoustic transducer output allows for a seamless transition to acoustic-style tones. But where the LGX-SA truly shines is its ability to interfuse these signals with synth capabilities. Thanks to RMC transducer saddles with custom preamp EQ, each string's signal can be independently channeled to the dedicated synth output, allowing you to explore an expansive universe of soundscapes.

Crafted with a mahogany body topped with exquisite figured maple, the LGX-SA not only sounds phenomenal but also embodies a visual elegance that matches its sonic prowess. A mahogany neck with a smooth Richlite fingerboard ensures a comfortable and fast playing experience, making it ideal for both professional sessions and personal exploration. Whether you're a seasoned stage performer or a passionate bedroom musician, the LGX-SA is engineered to meet and exceed your artistic demands with its blend of classic craftsmanship and modern innovation.

  • Figured maple top with mahogany body

Sweet, high quality guitar with Seymour Duncan humbuckers? Check. Acoustic sounds with LR Baggs bridge? Check. Countless possibilities with built-in synth pickup? Check. This guitar does everything and on top of that, it sounds good, feels good and plays good. I call this one my flagship.
