You've seen all the features Schaller lockin tuners, tremelo bridgemaple body, mahogany neck,Godin rail(SSH) single and Seymour Duncan Humbucker,24 frets and came with a decent gigbag. Not sure what year it is--they don't make em anymore so I think it's a 98 or earlier.
Sound
:
10
Just got it today--played it for a few mins and broke a string( Hey they probably been on the guitar since it left the factory). No amp effects (other than o/d )on a crap 5watt Ibanez practice amp. They say the sound is 90% amp and 10% guitar----BULLSHIT! This bitch sings like Barbara Striesand. Chuck Berry has Lucille--I got Barbara. Haven't gone thru all the possible sounds yet but weverytime I pick it up I find a new one.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
10
Dunno about the factory--it's been sittin in some music store for a few years so who knows who did what to it. Right now the action is low and fast. Damn near plays itself--all I gotta do it hold it. It had one small bump by the bridge--hell I had to look for it to see it. Godin literature tells you about how critical the neck fit is--well they muct really believe it cuz it looks like the wood was molded to the neck. Really good handworking there.
Reliability/Durability
:

Its fairly heavy and solid so I'm sure it'll withstand another siege of the Alamo. Don't gig--ain't good enough-play mostly for myself.
Customer Support
:

Not sure--have heard they really care about their customers. I guess if they care enough to make a guitar like this they gotta care about their business, that's my justification for givin them a 9.
Overall Rating

I've been playing on and off for about 22 years, never got serious about it. Never had a real good guitar till a friend sold me his Washburn acoustic a few weeks ago and got interested again and bought a Peavey Predator just to jack around(not a bad little guitar but it ain't no GODIN) with so now that I see how a good guitar handles I'm gonna get real serious. If this guitar were stolen I'd kill the asshole if I found him, then I'd kill his momma to make sure she never had another asshole like him then I'd go after the rest of his family, make sure the gene pool is depleted. If I lost it I'd have STUPID tattooed across my forehead. You don't disrespect such quality.
