Just bought on of these lovely guitars last week. Will be doing a full review and play through on my channel tomorrow if you are interested. Very nice instrument, well built and very innovative. Nice video. Thank you.
I like the idea, but that's a lot of screws to remove to get to the cavity. There is a black one at a guitar store near me and it plays really well, almost bought it, but wanted to see what other's think of it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for commenting. I wouldn't be intimidated by the amount of screws. I can't imagine a time when you would ever have to remove them, unless, of course, you want to refinish it or change out the electronics.
With that I would definitely try before you buy. I've never really liked the crunch or distortion sounds that I've gotten with this guitar. The pickups are real noisy. It has suited me best as a clean guitar.
i have one since 1998 i think and it took me a while to open it as well! LOL ... i'm planning on installing a 3-way switch to do a tele-type wiring later on ;)
Thanks so much. I have 2.Turquoise and a dark Navy Blue but if you look close it has little sparkles. Both guitars have very low mileage.You video saved me so much time. Thanks again.
I think this would be a GREAT guitar for that style, as far as look, timbre (tone) and feel are concerned. The only thing this guitar doesn't have is a whammy bar. Also, because of the chambered body, I don't think you'd be able to put one on.

Nice video.
Thank you.
Great! I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It's my go-to guitar. The first one I always reach for.
That''s a good way to describe it. It sounds to me like it's in between a tele or strat and a Les Paul, with a nice warm mellow tone.
Yeah. I've never had a problem with that. In fact, I hardly ever have to tune it up!
Nicely made little guitars... sound great with some OD.... Leo

Cool. Looking at buying a used Godin for my 1st guitar. Great vid. Thanks. Subscribed.
Thanks Dave. I don't think you'll be disappointed, if you haven't purchased it already!
Thanks, Dave - never to old to learn something new.

Is a battery used in this model, and where is it located? What size batter? I bought mine previously owned; no users’ guide or manuals.
Good question. There is no battery used in this guitar. No need to worry about that! Thanks for asking!
@@StevePedersonOfficial I'm a little older than your typical first time ax owner - is my face red! Thank you!
@@NNB70 no worries! No such thing as a stupid question!
Don't have a video but can probably arrange that. Give me a bit of time. May have some audio recordings soon.

Thanks for the video, now I know I want one!
It was the decal preventing you from getting the Pick Guard off. Don't you think it sounds like a Tele, but beefier ?

So glad I could help Steve!
How do you think the Godin will fare with neo-classical metal?
The pickguard is 1/8 inch thick.
I think this would be a GREAT guitar for that style, as far as look, timbre (tone) and feel are concerned. The only thing this guitar doesn't have is a whammy bar. Also, because of the chambered body, I don't think you'd be able to put one on.
Wow, you pronounced Godin right!!
Thanks monkfry! Wasn't sure.
@@StevePedersonOfficial Go-dahn? French?
@@NNB70 French-Canadian, I think. Godin guitars are manufactured in Canada I believe.
@@StevePedersonOfficial Correct. We still speak a fair amount of Cajun French in Louisiana.
I ve heard it pronounced 2 ways, and that from the horses mouth, the owner and one of his family who work there too
Godin's are highly underestimated... I have a 99-2000 SD (Canadian Parts assembled/made in USA) ... Drool
THat pick guard set up reminds me of working on French cars back in the day. Super overly complicated for little results.
P90s ??
Craig, they are not P90s. They are single-coil pickups with a unique Godin design. Good question!
good place for weed :D
