Live from NAMM 2018

I have to tell you on the crème one the Progression Plus with HDR. The HDR is impressive when you use it the pickups come alive which he mentions they go into active mode the punch is fantastic. I am impressed with the Seymour Duncan JB jr rails in the Bridge and has the Godin single coils with large magnets in middle and neck. Godin claims the 9v battery life for the HDR is about 200 hours. The guitar is still playable even if the battery goes dead while playing.

I just got thru reviewing that Godin @ NAMM video again... You must check out what the man has to say at 8:15: "I am really proud to say..."

Somebody at Godin must have been tuning into RVA and eSGEe's posts here at TTR... :rolf:

I may have to get one of those when they are out, just to do my share in promoting peace. It would be my first pickup guitar. He notes that it already is routed for a neck pup if you want to do so after 10 years. I give myself 10 minutes!

That guy, Daniel, also said that there are starter pilot holes for the extra components, and Godin will supply factory pickguards for extra pup routes.

All that remains to be seen is the street price. Flat top, 1 pickup, Godin....$ 750 new?

Glad you did. I know Godin has been around for a while, but I have not paid much attention to them. They've always had a pretty good reputation thru the mag reviews, AFAIK. The video was encouraging to see a company that really wants to put out a great product... :cheers:
 
If you get the chance online go to the Godin factory tour. Also I believe some time back Godin used to make necks for Fender and Kramer guitars. Godin has become an Innovative guitar Manufacture selling World wide . They now have 6 factories , 5 in Quebec and 1 in Berlin New Hampshire. All the guitars are made in Quebec. The New Hampshire plant does assembly only of the Electric guitars. Godin also has a healthy Acoustic division as well, under the names of Seagull, Norman, Art& Luthrie. Simon Patrick, LaPatrie guitars. There are many rave reviews in guitar magazines and online on their guitars. They are a company that is doing well and because of their innovation I believe they will be around for time to come.

Since you are a Godin guitar fan which is Canadian made, have you ever heard of Lado guitars? I think they're built or used to be built in Toronto since the 70's. I had the privilege of meeting a fellow guitarist a while back who owned one of the very first Lado guitars which was a semi-hollowed body guitar that had 27 frets on it! It was simply gorgeous...I wish I had the chance of taking pictures of it.

BlackSG91 I have not heard of Lado guitars . There are some other small guitar companys, but have not heard of this one. Thanks for the info I will have to investigate into this.
