I love mine and would like to have one of their guitars.

Three Godins (http://idisk.mac.com/maxman23/Public/Godinfamily2.jpg) here. A Radiator in 50s kitchen dinette set yellow, an Exit 22 with a maple fingerboard and a very battered and abused LG from the mid 90s.

Looking to get more sometime - maybe trade away the Exit 22 for an LG in a natural finish and better condition. The Radiator is one of the best guitars I've ever had... practically plays itself.

This one has been my "#1" for years now. Bought it new for $600 back in '96 I believe and wish I'd bought the other two they had for the same price. Sent an email to Godin to ask about buying a hard case for it (came with a gig bag) - they sent a new Godin hard case to the store I bought it from and gave it to me for free 4 days after I'd sent the note.

Dinette yellow, LOL.

I love it. All three look great actually.

[Maxer]

Yeah, that's my description for it - it's got that funky arbourite vibe to it. Kinda girlie, but it's such a sweet player I have to keep it - too, I've seen a few Radiators before but none in yellow. Not that I suspect they're rare or anything, but it does make it kind of unusual.

The black one is a real road warrior. After I bought it via CL I realized that it had a cracked neck near the headstock that had been slopilly repaired - it feels strong enough but there's glue beading by the nut. Big lesson to me in not really scoping out a guitar before making off with it. I got it for cheap so I'm not disappointed and I have another guitar that's suffered the same kind of damage - this time by me, late last year - took it into the 12th Fret and it's good to go again. I wish neither guitar was so compromised, but I've since learned it's not the end of the world and on the whole those flaws haven't stopped me from enjoying the guitars as great players.

[Mooh]

No pictures, but I have a sort of tobacco burst LG with humbuckers, and a Freeway 5 string bass which I converted to a fretless. When Godins become truly vintage in a few years, they're going to be sought after as much as any other, imho.

Peace, Mooh.

You gotta love em. Great guitars

http://members.shaw.ca/webbymusic8/Godin%201.jpg

I repupped mine with DiMarzio's. An Air Classic in the bridge, a Fast Track 1 in the middle and an EJ Custom in the neck. Sounds fantastic

That's a beauty.

What features does it have?

Quoted from thr Godin web site

The xtSA delivers big time electric sounds via the Godin humbucker-single-humbucker pickup configuration and thanks to a special 5-way switch setup extra meaty humbucker tones co-exist with glassy split-coil sounds in the second and forth position. Turn down the electric output and raise the volume on the RMC transducer saddles and the xtSA becomes an incredibly authentic-sounding ‘acoustic’ guitar. The acoustic voice of the xtSA is enhanced by an onboard preamp with a three-way graphic EQ. The two outputs are set up so that the electric and acoustic voices can be blended in the guitar using a single patch cord or at the amp/mixer using both outputs. The icing on the xtSA cake comes in the form of its synth tracking, which simply put, is the best in the business. As with all of Godin synth-ready instruments, a built-in 13-pin connector provides direct access to all Roland GR-Series synths as well as most other 13-pin devices.

[Milkman]

Looks like the full package.

The switching concept (tapped in positions two and four) is fantastic. I believe many Ibanez models have this also.

I think it would be nice to send the output from the Piezo bridge direct to PA via a direct box and the magnetic pickups to a regular rig or modeler. It could deliver some impressive polytimbral sounds for sure.

I'm not sure if I'd use the Synth Access a lot but you never know.

Pics are backwards, taken with my laptop's integral camera. Tis a Godin SD, one of the new ones with the new finish options. My first and only guitar thus far.

New here. Thought I'd join in with a picture of my Solidac:

Nice Godins all... love that natural LG with the P-90s - nice, clean, purposeful look to that. And that blonde SD... a beaut!

Now I'm jonesing for another one. Great. LOL!

[Bob Rock]

The piezo's sound sweet through the PA. I have a foot switch I made to switch between the two signals. The one flaw the guitar has, no built in switch. As for the Synth Access I don't use it much myself. I just play around with it a little from time to time. It requires a totally different playing technique.

As a sound man I would be thrilled to have a dual output instrument like this to mix.
