This Guitar is made in Quebec, some part are shipped to the USA and it's assembled there. I think it's to avoid having to pay for custom fee because of the electronics.
I did pay 580 CA$ for that guitar, it's a steal if you consider the quality.
The pickup are Godin's and they sound full and amazing, I am not sure but I think they are in fact made by Seymour Duncan. I'll post some video or some sound sample soon to let you hear the different pickup position on that guitarI chose that model because I believe it's a very versatile guitar. At first, the metal player in me was afraid but after a few minutes I quickly realized that this guitar has nothing to envy to those metal axes.The neck is a bit smaller than a Fender Strat, it's really comfortable for both classic rock, shred.. anything you want.
I highly recommend you to try a Godin guitar before you decide to buy that fancy and thin Ibanez or that too expensive Les Paul.

Very nice! I'm used to those other Godins, the weird elecro-acoustics with the slider controls on the upper bout. They also just brought out a modelling guitar with nylon strings that can be played loud with zero feedback!
ReplyDeleteyeah, I think you re talking about the XTSA. I almost bought one but I decided not to because it has a floating bridge and my previous guitar ( a Jackson Warrior ) had that, I didn't really like it.
