The wood is good?
It came from New Hampshire?
OH CanAda?
Seriously 200 BUCKS!?!?!

The "G" in Godin is for STUPID GOOD?



well now that cats MEEEEOW outta the bag...............

As many know I HAD a Godin Shifter bass that I liked VERY much but in the name of all things Holy (and profit) let it go..........but VOWED (mostly to S5 who was heartbroken) to get another -----well lads the worm has turned
behold a LOVELY Freeway by Godin resplendant in FLAME and rootbeer colored (or is that Molson Dark Amber???) fade....

it smells like Canuckistan--- (not really ...no pine) .....it looks like a dream-- it plays like Butta and sounds like angels --- and cost (DE--friggin-livered) 230.00 --- YES-- Im not FRIGGIN making this up--
this is a Canuck wood-- USA (New Hampshire I believe) assembled-- and oh so WONDERFUL!

specticles

even the GIG bag is one of the BEST Ive ever SEEN and weights like 3.5 lbs

I again am wondering WHY ---- Fender and Gibson are charging 1500-5000.00 for their USA made stuff..... some will tell me Im insane or to "F" off -- but this is as good as any USA fender or Gibson I ve played or owned--it just is --

Dont believe me? go get one they are STUPID CHEAP for the quality --- you can get a used Godin in the USA -- for LESS than most EPIPHONES--- SQUIRES-- or INDO/China Samick made muckity muck

look it up------ GO YE FORTH AND SHOP YOU TONE DAWGS --- before someone figures this out and the prices triple!!!!!

now leave me be I must play...........................................my GODIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
mcblink they are very Ibanezish (this model anyway) in feel.. (smallish body compared to a USA strat--) -- but very impressive in the fit finish and build quality dept--
ALSO-- it "moves" in your hand hit the "D" string slid up to the 7th fret--- the not rings for days--- and the whole guitar vibrates------like MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE models of other brands ..................
loving this very much

C'mon...we all know a big part of the answer there is nothing more than name recognition = people will pay more for the "big" well-known name. It's a well-established fact, and the reason luxury brands (and let's be honest here, these things are a luxury) will protect their name and identity so ferociously.

Is a Rolex an inherently better watch than other brands in the same mid-tier luxury segment? No, not for a second, but the name recognition ensures people will pay a premium for it even if it's not "the best" or they could have gotten equal quality for less money, which they most certainly can. Same with the guitars. And though I obviously favor Gibson's, for my own personal reasons, I am under no delusions that guitars of equal quality are not available for less money.

You never cease to amaze me with your acquisition skills! You have indeed earned your Ferengi ears!!!
 
Thank you Wav. I am sometimes amazed myself-- this is one of those times-0- I KNEW based on the previous Godin they were GOOD -- but this -- this is more than I expected.
has a couple dings and bangs-- but......who cares it sounds and plays as good as anything out there at 4 times the price
