| We have been carrying guitars made
by Robert Godin for twenty years and now that their internet policy has
changed, we are actually able to tell you how GREAT they are!!!
This company is literally one of the world leaders in manufacturing extremely
high quality, affordable and innovative stringed instruments with
state-of-the-art facilities in both Canada and the U.S.!
Today I'd like to feature one of my
favorite guitars from their 'Performance Series' solidbody electric line.
The model SDxt, like all of their instruments, is a precision
made guitar that utilizes quality hardware and resonant tonewoods.
The neck pockets are extra deep, tight fitting with all lacquer
and compounds removed for great transfer of vibration to the neck
(and improved tuning stability). The rib-rest body contour
is deep and comfortable while the sculpted neck bolt area provides outstanding
access to the upper registers!
As handsome as this instrument
is (what a SUPERB quilted cap!!! I'm hip-no-tized!) this instrument's
strengths are its ease of playability and wide sonic pallet. The
nicely finished frets in combination with a 12" radius fingerboard make
vibrato and string bending quite effortless. The combination
of hum-single-hum with a simple 5-way/master volume/master tone allows
a HUGE selection of tones with a minimum of fuss. This is a serious
musical tool at a VERY reasonable price point!!!!!!
