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.

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 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 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!
