Godin Progression Electric Guitar (Trans Cream, Maple Neck) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recently I ordered the Godin Progression in a trans cream colour.
The guitar looks, feels and sounds great. If you like a floating tremolo as I do, you need to adjust the settings. Standard the tremolo is resting on the body for the people that don't use a tremolo. My guitar was with the standard setting ok.
As with any new guitar I always service the guitar to set my personal settings (string height...etc.). It's a very versatile guitar including the High Defintion Revoicer. I use this feature mainly to have a bit more punch for clean rhythm parts. The fretwork is excellent as well as the overall finish. The neck feels smooth, more comfortable than a standard Fender strat. Taking into account the price/quality, this guitar is a great deal and can easily compete with the major league. You'll be impressed with the natural sound which is also reinforced by the extra big magnets in the single coils. With the 5 way switch you can retrieve all the classic sounds and more. For sure a guitar to recommend.

Gibson L-4 CES Electric Guitar, Mahogany, Vintage Sunburst Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been itching for the chance to review my guitar ever since I got it. Now that the honeymoon is over it's time.
Mine is in sunburst finish. It has the maple sides and back as opposed to the modern mahogany. Mine was made in 2000. The only modification I've made to mine are that I installed two Seymour Duncan Antiquity P-9o pickups, made a compensated ebony saddle, and replaced the Gibson tuners with something a little more fitting to my tastes. Which was the first era Kluson style tuners instead of the modern ones that use the ferruls and large holes.
Anyhow, I've been playing guitar for over 17 years and have owned ONLY archtops. Many, many of them. I was a Gretsch man most of that time with passing fancies in just about every brand. I always wanted a Gibson archtop because they always stuck out in my mind as something very special. They kept their prices high enough to keep the rif-raf away from them and I love that. Well, for the most part.
I can't say enough good about this guitar. It's a little smaller than I'd like, but that's what the L-5 and Super 400 are for. It sounds absolutely heavenly to me. I play CLEAN. All tube...all the time. When I'm not plugged in it's more than loud enough to play in the car, lying in bed, or out by the campfire. It's acoustically valid and that's my primary concern.
The fit and finish are just fine and it leaves nothing to be desired. The flamed maple is darn pretty and the spruce top really shows nice wide grain.
Once I got this guitar my vintage collectors pieces took a back seat. That's how nice these guitars are. I would buy another one in a heartbeat, sight-unseen. I would not be worried. I played several ES-175s before buying this guitar and they can't hold a candle to it. They felt heavy and stiff to me. Not life at all.
I play mostly finger style country & western, jazz, blues, and a little rockabilly. This guitar makes me play better because I practice more. I want to play all the time. And that's AFTER the honeymoon. I've had this guitar since March.
I see so many people these days with archtops, but so few high end ones. That's what I love about this guitar. For the price you pay you'd better know how to treat it right. This is not a toy. This is for grown-ups and people who have arrived at a place in their playing where they can justify the finer things.
The only things I didn't like about the guitar I promtly changed, so I love everything about it. There's not a thing wrong with it.

Godin LG P90 Solid Body Electric Guitar (Trans Black Flame) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this guitar through one of a kind deal. Not sure why but sometimes Amazon will have crazy deals on guitars. I got the guitar for very cheap (over 60% off) via Amazon.
The guitar is made of solid wood. Maple flame grains really adds to the style of the guitar. I get a lot of complement on how nice the guitar looks. The only gripe about the looks is that the headstock feels and looks a bit cheap, although I like the styling.
Sound-wise. I run the guitar through a Digitech RP-500 multi-effect pedals to a set of Bose L1 PAs. At home, I usually run it through my headphones (again using the Digitech RP-500). The output is very high, and you can get nice, glassy sound via the two Seymour Duncan P90s on the guitar. The guitar is pretty heavy so make sure that you use a comfortable strap (e.g., wider around the shoulder contact point).
It comes with a nicely-padded gig bag with Godin label. The gig-bag has a lot of pockets for extra strings, tuner, 1/4 inch cables, etc.

Godin SD 22 Electric Guitar (Amber Flame Leaftop RN) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought the Godin SD 22 but not from Amazon. Bought it from a private owner who bought it new and never used it. I own both an American Telecaster and Les Paul. This guitar is somewhat a combination of both and maybe a little Stratocaster in there too. You will find the wood quality excellent, (Canadian) The guitar has a balanced feel where it is not too heavy like my Les Paul. The frets are flush to the sides when you run your fingers over them. The knobs are knurled metal and have a nice feel. The single humbucker pickup gives some nice tones. The two single coil pickups are OK too but not as good as my telecaster. All in all, a very versatile guitar with excellent quality for the money. I would buy it again.

The SD 22 combines the easy feel of a short scale with the added snap of a rock maple neck. The short scale reduces string tension, which provides easy string bending and augments the low frequency response. The compact feel of the neck and the diagonal radius carved into the body produces exceptional balance and comfort. In short, this guitar is fun to play, and lends itself to classic rock and R&B sounds.


Maple and Poplar Body
The SD 22 is constructed with a blend of two tonewoods. A center of silver leaf maple serves as an anchor for the neck and is flanked by poplar sidepieces, resulting in Godin's stated goal of making electrics that begin with a great acoustic sound. Solid body instruments may not produce much in the way of volume, but make no mistake, wood weight and density, type (and quality) of the neck/body attachment, type of bridge and nut material all have an impact on that final sound.
One Godin GHB1 humbucker and two Godin GS1 single-coil pickups, along with a five-way switch for serious tonal options.

Godin Redline Electric Guitar (Trans Black Flame, Roseword Neck) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Brand new Godin Redline HB guitar arrived today ahead of schedule (good thing), but I've already processed a return for it. Why? Because of numerous rusted/shoddy frets, buzz on all strings, regardless of open or fretted notes...even after tuning, and a small chip on the fret board. Other than those flaws, body/neck/pickup construction appeared ok, nothing spectacular, as was the included gig bag. But considering I just paid nearly $500 for this guitar, and out of the box it had the aforementioned problems, that's just unacceptable. And to boot, I got stabbed...even bled!, by a string end on one of the tuners (at the headstock) while repackaging the item for return - this just added to the irritation. I ordered this specifically because it was a handcrafted, North American made guitar, but I bought a $200 Ibanez Jumpstart package for a family member over a month ago, and that guitar was better quality than this one! Overall, I'm very disappointed with this product and that in itself is disappointing...'cause I hate returning things!

Gibson ES-175 Classic Electric Guitar, Antique Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the most fun guitars I have ever played. Every time I pick up this instrument I get inspired to write a new melody. The 175 feels and sounds wonderful. It requires a little more maintenance than a solid body electric and a little more TLC but it is well worth the effort. This is a quality instrument. Just putting one in your lap will make you want to be a better player. You will feel your way around melodies and you will want to experiment with different chord voicing.

Godin Exit 22 Solid Body Electric Guitar (Natural Mahogany MN) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really love this guitar. Was a little cautious, since I hadn't played a Godin before. But, sought out a few local shops and they had some in stock (none had the Exit 22 though). Just to get the feel of the product line I checked those out and was happy with how they felt.
I like the unique and constrasting coloring of the guitar. Really like the metal knobs on the volume/tone (so much so I'm swapping out on some of my other guitars).
The neck plays very well, and like the maple on this model more than rosewood. Neck is a bolt on, and strings are through the body. The high frets are reachable and elecrified sound is quite respectable.
There are some complaints on the web that the humbucker is subdued. On the back of the body there is an opening (plastic box cover) with markings that look like for battery (i.e. active pickup) - but I haven't seen any connectors. Haven't opened it up to see what's in there, but haven't had a problem with sound level at all.
The combination of HSS pickups really provides quite an excellent range of options for voicing out of this. The pickups are very versatile in the sounds you can get out of them. This is a great bargain product, I'm happy with the high quality of all elements and the playability of the instrument. It's got the ability to sound like just about any other electric, that is a great feature.
This is a nice guitar and I'd recommend it if it appeals to your style.

Godin Radiator Chambered Electric Guitar (Black Onyx) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own this guitar, in blue w/pearl front. The whole front of these guitars are "pickguards", as they are chambered. Basically. hollow under the front. The pickup's are quite unique. This guitar has it's own "coolness factor". It's hard to describe the sound of this beauty, but I find myself playing it more often than not. I own an assortment of guitars, from projects, to some nice"art". I hang my art on the walls, and some are truely prettier than a picture. Back to the Radiator, with the long fret length, good not too thin, thin neck, hardtail bridge and easy access to the upper register, this guitar rocks. Again, a funky sound with the chambered body, but with the mixable pickup sounds, this thing will keep you playing and coming up with some pretty signiture sounds. Truthfully, the look got me to check this guitar out, once I plugged it in though, well......Did I Say I Own It And Love It!
