Re: NGD Godin LG P90

You know how stupid Guitar Center can be. I hope they don't sell it eventhough you have it on Layaway. I know that's been known to happen. I've read a few horror stories of that happening.

Shut up. That's crazy talk! :kabong:

Re: NGD Godin LG P90

I woke up this morning, wondering if I was dreaming; buying what felt and sounded like a $1000 guitar for $175 last night. I had to go back today and really put it through it's paces for a couple hours.

I plugged it into a Fender HR Deluxe and Vox AC-30 and really bonded with the guitar. I'm in utter amazement of how good it plays and sounds. It's got a feel that's just about better than any other guitar I've ever played. It's ergonomically perfect for me. My right hand sits just right for hybrid picking like a tele, and it sounds better than any Gibson Special or Jr. I've picked up at a store. The neck is amazing. It's a full C mahogany neck with 16" radius, so it plays really fast....like a Suhr tele or something.

Another bonus was the Schaller strap buttons, so I don't need to fuss with buying those. And the pickups and electronics are just perfect. I really want to know what's in the bridge position.
The website says Duncan SP-90's, but I get the feeling the bridge may be a II or III. The bridge pickup flat out rocks, but still sounds sweet. The neck and middle positions are simply beautiful. I'm sure I got a good one, because it's really light and resonant, with nice wood throughout. It think the tuners have real ebony too.

Overall, this looks to be a primary player. I'm in love with it already. It's so comfortable to play and sounds huge. I have to find out exactly which Duncans are in it, because it's a perfectly calibrated set for blues rock. I doubt I'll change anything on this guitar.

Godin is good **** – one of the greatest buys on the used market. Most of them are ugly ducklings to me, but there is no denying they are a tremendous bang for the buck on the used market.

FWIW, they make good acoustics too. Seagull, Art and Lutherie, Simon and Patrick, AMI, etc. are all various trim levels of Godin acoustics.
