Re: Anyone own or try a Godin Detour?
hi, i own the detour and while it is a very nice guitar with a great neck and great feel. It's just nothing to shout about in my opinion. maybe it's because i play mostly heavy stuff which i don't think the guitars suits, i don't know.
It has a very nice but pretty bright tone. I guess this is the maple body and poplar wings at work?
I think you can get better guitars for the price brand new but second hand these guitars can be a real find!
The neck is hand made and i can't question the overall build quality. Stock pickups are good too though i have a custom custom in mine at the bridge. not an amazing match for my style but still sweet.
My Washburn x50pro outclasses the godin detour i have to say.
I think you ended up better off with the Godin you ended up buying Moonsorrow, not that i have played that particular model......
I really like the look of the godin lg series, would love to try one of those out one day.
