Godin Artisan ST


Can't say that I find the design of this early 1990s Godin Artisan ST extremely sexy but it has something typically Godin - a brand I quite like - in its way of keeping discreet while still proposing something slightly bizarre, but always relevant. 

Here the very long upper horn where you attach your strap is quite ergonomic, allowing a better balance, when the lower horn logically almost disappears, since it is usually mere cosmetic. The result is probably disturbing 60 years after Stratocaster set the standard for electric guitars, but it is sensible and gives this guitar a nice personality, is spite and of its boring finish.

You'll notice the double dual blade humbucker in bridge position and the competition trem - all that making this guitar a shredding machine - though I still don't really get the concept of shredding, but who cares?

Godin LG EMG


I like how this sober standard design of Godin guitars is used for very different models - from MIDI nylon-strings guitars to this metal oriented Godin LG EMG with black graphite finish and EMG active humbuckers, via semi-hollow jazz guitars or strat-esque 3 single-coils/trem ones. And this design fits to all!

There is definitlely a Godin on my must-have guitar list...

Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin

Godin 5th avenue

Another archtop/F-holes acoustic guitar, the Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin is one of the coolest recent guitars - the Kingpin being the electrified version, with a P90 in neck position. 
It's just perfect, and Godin rules!

On the top of my GAS list!

Godin Radiator


The trouble with mirror front guitars such as this Godin Radiator is that you can't sell it discreetly on eBay since when you take its picture your face shows!

Still it has this ultra classic elegance of Godin's products, a mix of Telecaster and Les Paul that still has its personality ; I'm amazed by designers who can do that! And the mirror gives it the edge that its classicism lacks.

I have too much fun posting on Guitarz, I should work a little bit more on my own blog !
