I've had a Godin Core CT for three years and it's great. It's one of the best guitars I've ever owned. The only problem with it is that they quit making it. Mr. Godin, your guitars are fabulous and on par with any other guitar brand.
Hi I'm thinking of getting one of these they look great and sound great anything that you would change on this Godin Core CT P90 if you could or are you 100% happy as is, Thanks in Advance, Peace !
I think they stopped making it for two reasons. 1, it sounded better than the models above it in price and 2, it was getting hard to keep to the low MSRP price as wood costs increased.
I have two of these Godin Core CT P90 guitars and can attest to their sonic sweetness. It has the spank of a Tele in the middle position as well as the richness and depth of a Les Paul in the bridge position and can emulate a Gibson ES-335 in the neck position. The reason it can do the semi-acoustic emulation is due to the body chambering. I used to think my Tele - as it's well known to be - was the one guitar that could do it all. But as someone who has owned high end Strats, Tele's, Les Paul's, Ibanez, etc...this guitar smokes them all for sustain, weight, tone, comfort, and magic. It's not even an expensive guitar.
Mr Godin, this was the best guitar you ever produced. Why the short lifespan? Can’t believe it was discontinued after two production years. Bring it back …. Please!
It's interesting to hear Robert Godin pronounce his name ... as a Canadian who took French in school and who has been around some bilingual areas (including Acadian and even experiencing the 'chiac' Acadian French with English phenomenon in New Brunswick, I still didn't quite use how he pronounced his own name. I guess as a general rule his name could be ""Row-bear Go-da(y)h(n) ... with a kind of nasal not-quite pronounced even "n".... it's quite odd sometimes how some reviewers might call the guitars "Go-din" guitars. Oh well...regardless of precise and correct pronunciation ... they make great guitars (I have an early 1990's SDxt)!
Actually, in Quebec, Godin is a really common name and the way he pronounced it is the way it is supposed to be pronounced in French, at least everybody I know are saying it that way.
I just got one of these in un-played condition its been sitting in a closet this older lady had it. She is moving across the US and asked me if I was interested. Told her I am very much but I only have 400$ to spend on something other than bills so maybe she should ask someone else. But she sold it to me for 400$. I am very pleased with my purchase.
With all the respect to Mr. Godin, but We can read all the specifications Robert Godin explained on your website already, this guitar really needs better review. How does it sound with a soft overdrive or kind of higher distorted sounds? Please provide your customers a better review. Is this a good blues guitar?
Well, I own two of these guitars. The grain of the neck wood differs from that of the body wood. Robert Godin says in this video that two types of Mahogany was used. Do you have anything other than "not accurate" to clarify your statement?@@damianwayne2479
+David Benson It's the saddles that you need to look at. The SADDLES are pretty much at the same distance from the bridge pickup as Gibson's. You're looking at the whole bridge which creates the illusion that it's too close.
Tone is subjective. My objections here are: a) It doesn't sound like most expect a P-90 guitar to sound. This has a pretty scooped midrange b) Having played one - the tone rolloff is horrid. It muddies up immediately. In any case, Godin stopped making these in mid-2016 - so I guess the market wasn't moved by them, either.
I love how he talks slowly and takes his time. No rushing. Also great to know the correct pronunciation!

i love the cream binding on their guitars.
lchPutzHierNur I disagree whole heartedly, wish they were black :P
Wow, great sounding and looking guitar for a decent price.

I’m acoustic only but if I were to get an electric this would be it.
wow no distortion? fuzz anything?

I guess whenever someone demos p-90 pick ups it's required to play country / blues.
Jazz not allowed.
"Honduras Mahogany" Robert Godin said. Neck?
The neck is Brazilian mahogany and the body Honduran mahogany...or vice versa.
@@jesse2d Not accurate.

@@jesse2dThe body is Spanish Cedar. Clear enough for you?
It's "BELLS and whistles" not "birds and whistles" LOL
Nah -- I'm pretty sure it's "Birds and whistles".
localcrew
you're wrong
I looked it up on gurgle. It's "Birds and whistles".
You clearly are not familiar with English idioms. It is "bells and whistles". Look it up again.
Okay... Looking... Looking...
Nope. It's "Birds and whistles".
I speak good English & stuff so I should know.
He looks just like Neil Young
Is there anybody there to make me a guitar like this as a gift?
The bridge pickup is too close to the bridge, look at an sg classic, gibson got it right

Am I missing something? How the heck do you adjust intonation; remove the bridge PU?
A typical Godin - great build & ergonomics - but a shame about the tone :-(

@@ald7248 I've got a 2018 version so they made them a little longer than 2016.
