The Godin Summit Classic HB is derived from a classic design, and offers a chambered Spanish Cedar body with a carved Maple cap. This example was built during 2016 at the Godin plants in La Patrie and Richmond, Quebec. It’s in great condition with very little wear.
Solid Body
This is a very nice condition Godin Summit Classic Supreme LTD in Cognac Burst finish and sporting a pair of Lollar Gold Foil pickups! This example dates to 2018, built at the Godin shops in Quebec. The Summit Classic draws from the proven combination of a Maple cap on a Mahogany body and neck. The fingerboard is Richlite.

The body uses a Swamp Ash cap on a chambered Red Cedar body, and the bolt-on neck is Maple with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard. For hardware, very smooth Gotoh 510 tuners are at the head with a Godin-branded two-point trem on the body.

While Hofner is best known worldwide for the Model 5000/1 violin shaped ‘Beatle Bass’ used by Paul McCartney, they also made many solidbody guitars and basses. The Hofner Model 182E2 uses many of the same components as its more famous cousin, including the pickups, electronics package and ‘Teacup’ control knobs. The scale length is 30 inches or 762mm, the same as the Beatle Bass models.

This is often due to three factors, none of which reflect quality – distance (shipping costs), import duties and distribution chains. Here we’re treated to a Maton MS500 solidbody electric, built during 2001 at the Maton shop in Box Hill, Victoria, Australia – near Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay. Like other Maton products we’ve seen, it is well thought out, very well built and finished, and incorporates indigenous wood species wherever possible.
