Wow. You seem to really like that series. Are they just backups for one another or do you have them in different tunings?

I have a 1989 Acousticaster and love the hell out of it, but can't imagine needing a 2nd.

My Godin is an S&P Cedar 6. I don't play it often enough though to do it justice.

I've got the same one. Great tone. Mine is ten years old now.... also hasn't been played nearly enough, but it sounds great and is a pleasure every time I pick it up.

Got a Godin LG with the SD P90's. One of the best sounding guitars I have ever played!

Time for a little update on my Artisan TC. I had Eric & Darryl at The Arts in Newmarket do some work on it for me and it's become an even better guitar (great work guys - you'll be seeing more of my gear slide through your work area). Replaced the Godin Tetrad blade pickups with Fralin P-92 Split Singles, new wiring/switch/pots. I used to find the original pickups dark, muddy and not the most articulate which I used to compensate for with overdrive/distortion. Not a death-metal amount, but it always needed some - and more than I used with my other guitars. Now with the Fralins in it, it's become my go-to guitar when I'm not slathering on the fuzz. Plenty of snap in the bridge and warm & clear in the middle position. The neck on its own is a great place to start when a solo comes around and I do have some hair coming out of the amp.

Eric was top-notch to deal with and I'd recommend his shop to anyone in the area. He knew his way around the guitar and what we'd find before we got there (not quite "standard" size original humbuckers, pickup switch, etc). Fantastic transaction and a fantastic guitar.

If you want to see it with the old pickups, there should be a shot of it over here http://www.guitarscanada.com/Board/s...din#post109226

Here she is in all her gold glory getting some sun today.

Fretboard: nice Godin... killer pix. Nice to see someone who knows how to do photographic justice to a guitar.

Black Freeway Classic maple fretboard.

Pros: Sustain, resonance (like a chambered body?), clarity. Excels in cleaner, lighter overdrive settings, and the maple fretboard.
