Just picked up this Godin G-Series guitar used last Thursday. Great guitar and the thing is in mint condition. The thing is I can't find any info. on this model and would like to know a little more. All I know is it was made in the U.S.A in the early to mid '90's. If anyone can help me with some information on this guitar I would be very pleased.

Congratulations on getting a great guitar in great shape.

I have an Artisan TC that is far and away the best guitar I've ever played. While I'm a big Godin, though, I'm by no means an expert.

The G series, I believe, were made in the early to mid 90s. There are G-1000 to G-5000s out there. The birdseye maple tended to be used in the higher end of the range, from what I've seen of Godins earlier stuff. Beyond that, I don't know much else. The range does get good reviews (http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar/brand/Godin).

You may already know about it, but there's a Godin forum here (http://www.godinforum.com). Some of the regulars might be able to tell you more.

Thanks for the help. I will see what the guys on the Godin forum know.

I find the shape, along with other Godin guitars to be a little funky. Is this the one that Michel Cusson used? He sounds fantastic.

That is a great looking Geetar. Godin's are a very good investment.

That's really cool looking. Godin makes some nice guitars.
