Perfection

My fiance picked me one up used. The neck is extremely comfortable and the contour in the body is perfection. The stock pickups are gorgeous and don't need to be swapped out. This is my first Godin guitar and I'm beyond floored at the build quality.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

I use Neck/Middle for chords and atmosphere and middle for lead melodies. I play a lot of post-rock, shoegaze and metal with it.

Lightburst Quilted Leaf Top

I have had this guitar for many years now and have not grown weary of it. It is advertised as a jack of all trades guitar and it lives up to that title. I play mostly pop rock and some country and this guitar can do it all. From a low growl on the tail humbucker for House of the Rising Sun to a soaring solo using just the center single coil. Built Canadian solid and it can take our winters too, the tuners hold amazingly well considering the floating bridge for the tremolo bar that I never use or even put in. A good strong finish on the body that is only now starting to show the buckle rash and pick scratches. Solid, dependable and versatile; ingredients for a great guitar.
