There must be some Godin owners on this site, hows your experiance been with these guitars? I,m actually thinking of getting one of the P90 equiped LGs next.

I have the LG w/P90's (in cognac burst). Mine is a very dark-sounding guitar with very hot, dynamic output. It is the liveliest electric I've ever played.

I love it except that, if I switch to a more conventional guitar mid-set (even an actual Gibson with P90's), I've had to completely change all my amp settings to get the same kind of volume.

Another annoyance is that the tuning peg material on mine is very brittle. If it get's bumped in a gig-bag, the peg splits off the thread and you're screwed for tuning (but ironically, the tuners themselves are great). I've heard that Godin has improved the material though.

I'm doing some recordings right now and plan to use the LG (into a Hiwatt Custom 50) for all of my electric-guitar tracks. The combination is awesome.

Switch out the pots, and the guitar brightens right up. I don`t know why they don`t do it at the factory.

See.... this is what sucks. I've actually gotten used to the guitar sounding the way it does. I might get a second one off eBay and swap the pots out... just to see the difference.

If I were to upgrade anything else on the LG, I'd order the RWRP neck pick-up from Seymour Duncan so I could actually have some hum-cancelling when run together.

...i use a seymour duncan pickup booster when switching from my strat to my much louder les paul. i set it so that when its on, it boosts the strat to the same volume as the les paul.

I was thinking of doing that or using something like an EQ or volume pedal. My Godin's output is so hot, I'd rather just pull the signal back then boost the others to match it.

I noticed the same darkness with mine. I have another guitar ( Strat style ) which is kind of bright and they will definitively not share the same settings.

Anyone else notice the extremely different output of the guitar? When I used it in the studio recently, we had it plugged into a Mesa Solo Rectifier head. In the "pushed" setting of the clean channel (which was dialed in to sound "pushed" for a Les Paul), it was pretty much "distorted".

I'm going to have the pot swap done over the next few weeks and see how it brightens up the guitar.
