whoohoo.
I don't know how long I can hold off before losing my virginity to this baby. She's all mine now. I went to Guitar center, and tried out only a few models (I knew what I was looking for) and instead of coming home with a cheap korean made squier, I came back with a USA made, silver maple tonewood, black godin freeway classic. I bought it used for $250, and it is an awesome guitar. The only things it's missing is a tremolo bar, and one of those thingies you use to put on a strap (I'm getting that fixed soon) And it's still in showroom condition! I thought it was brand new when I picked it up! if anyone has an idea on how to (safely) make a makeshift attachment to hold on a strap, help is certainly welcome. anyway, this thing has a sexy sound to it -- maybe it's no fender american deluxe, but hell, it's the greatist thing ever compared to my crappy $25 acoustic. 2 humbuckers and a single coild pickup (all godin made) allow me to go from heavy metal sounds to classic rock or blues quickly (with help from my amp of course) I got a soft case, a strap (that I can't use. Argh. strings, a tuner, and a 15W crate amp. in the end, the guitar and accessories cost a bit less than $500 (about $450 or $475) after trying out a squier, this thing is DEFINITELY higher quality. any comments are welcom. |

I don't own a Godin, but yeah, everyone I heard said that they're generally very good pieces of guitar.
But yeah, I hope you'll enjoy it. (now, I want a new guitar myself (LTD MH400 / MH400NT Plz)) |

 Spiny I've had enough of your garbage. Get out. Level: 53 Posts: 35/578 EXP: 1101752 Next: 55367 Since: 02-19-07 Last post: 5390 days Last view: 4310 days |
It kinda reminds me of a Strat...Still, nice guitar, man. I'm more of a 7 string kind of guy, but 6 strings are really all you need. I'm just greedy  |

To be honest, it looks a lot like a strat, but sounds too different to be just another strat copy.
sure, you can (roughly) mimic the sound of a strat with an amp/tone adjustments, but the H/S/H configuration and godin made pickups have a ton of tones that sound nothing like a strat as well. also, as you can see in the picture (my avatar...) the wings are a bit lighter. This thing is WAY out of the league of guitars like peavy raptor, and even squier's standard strat. from what I can hear/feel, this guitar is great. I love it. If you come across one of these babies you should definitely give it a try. I give it a 10/10. Action is great, sound is great, finish is great, and quality materials/workmanship are all present. For it's price (especially used) it's an amazing guitar. as for 7 strings -- what do you use the 7th for? just power chords? I've heard they're good for metal (I mostly play rock/classic rock). Is it the same actual string as the sixth string, or do you have to buy special strings? To be honest, I've never played a 7 string. But I HAVE played a 12 string... once... |

The 7th string is a little bit bigger than the 6th.
It justs means you have an extra 5 notes you can use (either in higher pitch - High A string, or lower pitch - low B string). But yeah, they're used alot in metal. BUT can be very useful even for other stuff. |
