[Session 5]

This is a good article on a man, who has built an empire in the guitar world. His guitars are sold in over 65 countries. in the article it mentions acoustic guitar sales a week is 4,000, and a 1,000 electrics. Godin is the largest manufacturer of guitars in North America.

Robert Godin: “If you make just the same thing as people did 50 or 60 years ago… Wow, things have changed!”

After four decades, Godin still seems like a ‘new’ brand. Why is that and who exactly is Robert Godin?

Article from 2019, do I bet the production numbers went up with the covid bump, like everyone else, and have stabilized now. Definitely an interesting company, but you know what? I have never encountered a Godin in a shop. The Seagull acoustics yes, but never a Godin electric, which I find strange.

They have some kinda unique and very cool ideas. I really like the 2 that I have.
I see some neat pickups on tne Montreal Premiere line - a P90 with single strat type. Run one, the other or both together. Nice idea.

 

[Session 5]

I really like my Godin guitars, they are great players and like Geoff said unique. They are always improving and coming up with new ideas. They will run a line of guitars for a while, then change them, different styles of pickups or electronics, My Core CT you can no longer get, the guitar is dynamite! I will never sell it, my Progression Plus Strat, you can no longer get, just a wonderful playing high quality, the tones i can get from these guitars i haven't found in no other brand.

They are an innovative company that keeps evolving in the guitar industry. They continue to make guitars IMHO that raise the bar. Every time i go to my local shop and play their guitars, they continue to impress me with their workmanship.
