Fascinating good friend
Roydgar 24.01.2022
The guitar is very player-friendly and easy to play. It's very beautiful and vintage looking. Came with a good setup, no actions needed. The guitar is pretty lightweight, has smaller body.

The tuners look great and work stable. The same for the nut, bridge and tailpiece. Like the frets, slides are smooth as possible. The neck has perfect width (for me, at least), and very comfortable to play difficult chords and to play with a thumb.

Acoustically, it's fun to play and has that archtop sound. But it's not that rich and quieter comparing to the regular acoustic. Especially when u use flat wounds, play fingerstyle without nails and pick. So consider it's as an electric guitar.

Amplified, it's amazing. That warm jazz sound is possible! Also, u can get crispy funky sound if u put less tone and play closer to the bridge. So fun to play.
The disadvantage is that it's noisy. I'm a newbie in the electric world, and didn't hear in any watched review that it can be noisy. It's not that bad at all, but annoys when it comes to recordings, especially when recording multitracks. For recordings, I'd go with humbuckers. Otherwise, I'd stay with P90, because it can be that warm, clear and crisp.

No regrets I bought it.

Exzellente moderne Version einer ES 125 o.ä.
Kunde4711 08.11.2010
Ich habe in der Vergangenheit mehrmals Gibson ES 125 und vergleichbare Harmony Gitarren gehabt und finde daß diese Godin eine perfekte moderne Version davon ist und es keinen Grund mehr gibt sich ein teures Vintage Teil mit eventuellen Problemen anzutun. Der wunderschöne matte Lack hat auch eine Vintage Optik und fühlt sich toll an. Ausgezeichnete Verarbeitung.

Mir persönlich hat der Tonabnehmer nicht so gut gefallen, da habe ich schon bessere P-90s gehört. Erwähnen muß man daß der Einbau eines anderen Tonabnehmers nicht ganz unproblematisch ist, ich hatte die Gitarre eigentlich ausschließlich deshalb gekauft um einen Lollar Charlie Christian Pickup einzubauen - das ist leider nicht möglich. Die Längsverstrebung hat bei dieser Gitarre im Gegensatz zu den alten Vorbildern am Hals sehr geringen Abstand. Der P-90 ist in einem Rahmen nur an der Oberfläche montiert, es gibt keine Fräsung und man kann deshalb auch keine machen (Godin Support hat mir das bestätigt), auch beim Einbau anderer P-90s kann es in der Höhe knapp werden und es müssen zumindest die Polschrauben gekürzt werden.

Relación calidad precio inmejorable.
Gustavo J. 23.07.2012
Guitarra comparable a otras guitarras archtop de mucho mayor precio.
A diferencia de otro guitarras del mismo diseño (archtop) esta es una guitarra muy cómoda de tocar tanto sentado como de pie. Es muy ligera y viene en una funda (TRIC) increiblemente ligera y resistente.
El sonido es muy cálido y limpio aunque a niveles altos de volumen tiende a generar feedback. El volumen que produce (en acústico) sin estar enchufada es muy bajo aunque esta guitarra donde realmente resalta es a través de un amplificador. Además es muy versátil en cuanto a sonidos posibles y suena muy bien tanto en limpio como con overdrive.
