Re: Godin Guitars?
I have a Godin LG and think it is a FANTASTIC guitar. The shapes are a little out of the ordinary (with the freeways exception) but overall I love em. They are a bargain too for a US/Canada axe.
As far as online dealers go maybe someone else can chime in on that.

How much did the Godin LG set you back? I heard that one even comes stock with Duncans?

Re: Godin Guitars?
Yeah it does, it had a set of Ducan P90 Customs, they are fat, and hot with good spank. I didn't like the 250K pots though so I changed them and the cap out. The neck profile is very nice and the fretwork is impressive especially for such a low cost guitar.
There's a black one a local store for about $500. It's one of the older ones like mine with 24 frets.

The LG Signature is the one that comes with duncans, its out of your friends price range, i own one.
The LG HMB is an amazing guitar, especialy for the price range of the guitar, and it also has a fair bit of versatility because of the 5-way pickup switch, i have played these guitars on NUMEROUS occasions, they play great.
Also they have a fixed/string-thru bridge(the LG series) which gives them a fair amount of sustain.
And as far as i know Godin does not sell there stuff online, but i can't really remember so i am no help there.
fftopic: suddenly i do believe i am becoming somewhat of a godin spokesman for this forum......
Depending on what music style they play, i would look into either the LG(P90) the LG HMB or maybe the freeway classic or floyd, or if you like fixed bridges look into the freeway fixed.

He plays a pretty wide variety of stuff, mostly into blues and some 70's music. Loves Buddy Guy, Clapton, Blackmore, Knopfler, etc...

I have a dark goldtop with real duncan p90s in it. LGp90 is the model. Got a boogered up one the first time, wrong neck on it. But once they got the neck scale length solved, the new one is awesome. 350 bucks. Check ebay There's a dealer out of WI that advertises there. just get their phone number and call them.
