After adjustment: Awesome blues guitar

Tom

I used a Fender Blues Junior amp for this review. Out of the box: The strings (12s) sounded dull, the action was just a tad high, and theneck might have been a bit bowed. The neck pickup sounded just a bit less focused and articulate compared to the bridge pickup. The high B and E were piercingly shrill, and the low E was too prominent in the mix. My fixes: I put on fresh D'Addario read more 11s with the wound G as the guitar comes with. I lowered the pickup pole pieces (screws) for the high B and E strings on both pickups, and the low E pole piece on the neck pickup. I used celluloid guitar picks to shim the neck pickup upwards just a bit. Result: Awesome articulate sound that can vary depending on amp settings from a bell to a bark to a growl. A beautiful envelope of dynamics results from the hollow body. Not as bright as a solid spruce top, but just as pleasing to my ear. This Godin is my go-to guitar for playing unaccompanied, through a tweed-circuited Fender amp. And - the finish is beautiful.

I was a little nervous about getting a demo with a couple of small dents, after ordering this guitar and realizing the new ones were on sale. Well, once again, Sweetwater and the guitar I was sold, passed all my expectations. This ax has found a new home and is beyond my description, but everything I wanted. The quality is undeniable. These King Pins are extraordinary guitars. read more I replaced a reissue Epiphone Casino (now china made), with this one, and there is no contest. At less than 6 pounds with one less fret, the guitar is in another league and comes from a different planet. Grab one of these while you can at this price. (~);}

Great archtop. For the money, it’s superb.

Fit and finish are top notch. Tusq nut is perfectly cut, and the intonation out of the box was literally perfect. A pleasant surprise considering the bridge, while compensated, is not adjustable. Great playability. The acoustic tone is loud enough to be usable. Amplified tone is very versatile, and feedback was not an issue. Another nice surprise considering the top is not blocked read more like a semi-hollow. If you are looking for a true archtop for jazz, rockabilly, blues, etc., this is certainly one to consider. And Sweetwater's communication and service were excellent throughout the sale process.

Works for me

Really fills a spot in my tools.Running through a 64 Gibson Falcon amp, just classic tone. Into a Mesa Rectoverb 25 limitless. N.A. built guitar without the U.S.A. price!

Fantastic Guitar

I received this a while back, I was looking to buy my first hollowbody guitar and after looking around I decided on the Godin. Love the guitar, great sound and feel with a great look. The pick-ups put out a great sound, it was just what I was looking for. I didn't want to spent a ton of money. Very happy with this purchase.
