Godin guitars

Godin Radiator (son's) here, semi hollow, toasters.

YEEESSSS.. I have one also. Much maligned for their looks, but a great sounding guitar.

Mate has a baritone semi acoustic Tele shaped one that is his main.

I had a Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin, it was a great guitar.

I've owned a bunch of them. I've also had an LGX, as above. Wish I still had it. I've also owned a few of their Stratty guitars, and a really nice custom Artisan Tele that I should have kept. I currently have one of their slimline classical guitars (ACS), also with synth access, which is a lot of fun and gives a great nylon tone even at high volumes. It has a slightly curved fretboard and is not quite as wide at the nut as a normal classical guitar. So it is easier to play for people like me who mostly play acoustic.

One of my guitar teachers growing up often played a Godin electric nylon. Always thought it was cool.

Oh look they do a junior style too... got me wondering this thread did.

I borrowed a Godin radiator as a back up guitar for a conference once and ended up using it the whole time. Very fun guitar. I think the pickup selector is a knob so you can blend the pickups in any proportion you like.

yes, that's right, so there is no pickup selector. I used to gig a lot with mine, it just worked in the band setting I was in at the time. it really cuts through the mix without being thin or too tinny.

The hollow being capped by that large plastic 'pickguard'. I liked the pragmatic build, un fussy production based sort of thing. Just wants to live.

I have an LG-HMB



Pure 600 year old swamp-dredged mahogany. Baseball bat for a neck. Weighs about 20kg

Is beastly. I can't get it to stay in tune but honestly I think it's just user error. Thinking about taking it into the shop for some TLC and making it my more regular low tuner.

is that my old one?

is that my old one?

Ooh dunno, maybe? Bought in 2011 from a guy named Sam in Auckland.

could be... hard to tell from the pic Mine sustained forever, no idea why I sold it...

[blackstratblues]

I have an A12 (solid body acoustic 12 string) and a Multiac nylon. Both have been workhorses live and in the studio, no complaints here.

You can hear the A12 here

Good guitars. I own and play a Godin A8 Mandolin. I've always found their hybrid acoustic/electric guitars quite interesting, would be super cool in a covers band.
