Title of Instrument: Godin LG Price Paid / Price New: $350/$500 Year Manufactured: Example: 2003 Specs: Solid Mahogany body Solid Mahogany bolt-on Neck with Rosewood fingerboard Godin Tuners String through body design Tune-o-matic bridge 24-frets Seymour Duncan P-90 pickups High gloss gold paint job Sound: 4.5/5 It has an incredibly versitile sound. I can play everything from classic rock to jazz (This requires changes of string gauge of course). The P-90 pickups provide crisp clean tones and if distortion is applied, is best used in small quantities. It does not fit the bill very well as far as heavy distortion goes. Instrument Quality: 4.5/5 I'm being pretty darn nit-picky on this one. My only complaint about this very solid instrument is in the restringing process. Trying to stick a '9 through the back is tricky as hell. Don't be in a hurry and you're okay though. Other than that, this is a very solid, stable instrument that can take a beating. Playbility: 4/5 It has the "sticky" mahogany neck which takes a little getting used to if you've never played on one before. The frets are nicely shaped though and the low setup of the bridge and pickups makes for a very comfortable right hand position. Fingerpicking feels very natural. Overall Value: 5/5 I picked this up used without a scratch on it and it had already been setup. Godin retains their reputation for making some of the "best in class" guitars and this one is no exception. I would definetly have paid full price for it and doubt that I will purchase another solid body electric anytime in the near future.
