Pod XT Live went back.. was all for getting a refund

Boogeyman of Tone
Then I saw this second hand, for £6 more than what I payed for the POD

And that screwed up the whole getting a refund thing :laugh2:

Lovely guitar, sounds fat and warm, perfect for bluesey stuff. Clean it's amazing too. Nice and thick, without being too compressed like a humbucker. This this is all mahogany, with a bolt on 24 fret neck. It is quite dark sounding, but not muddy in anyway, IMO. Stock with Duncan SP90s, but I'm not sure which model as there seems to be a few. They seem loud enough, and the guitar more than holds it's own even for a hard/heavy rock kinda tone too. I can't believe I haven't been into P90s up until recently... they're so good!

I A/B'd it against the PRS SE soapbar (single cut version) and for me there was no comparison. The neck suited me more on the Godin (and wasn't painted like on the PRS) and the tones were beefier and warmer IMO.

The gig bag it came with could withstand a nuclear blast too!

Sorry for the lack of guitar + me posing pictures this time, I dunno where the camera has gone...

Well, all in all this has been an amazing last 7 days for guitars. I doubt I'll ever get two new guitars in the space of a week again unless I rob a bank. Ahh, all that 18th money got put to good use.. :D

I'm having issues with recording atm, and I snapped a string on my strat.. hopefully I'll have a track up with both guitars on in the new year in a different style to what I usually post:)

Nice score, beautiful guitars. I have the same gig bag, and you are right the damned things are close to indestructabe for a gig bag.

Things always get screwed up, when you know it's money unspent. haha

That Godin and the new strat will prove to be great guitars, once you sink into them, and know them inside and out. I've always loved black minimalist hardware on nice woodgrain.

Nice score! You're on a roll with these guitars. Godin makes some great guitars, and I've been liking P90s a lot more lately, too.

Nice new addition, any clips?

Those Godin LG's are amazing! I bought the Solidac model a few years ago and have been wanting the LG for a few years now! Great guitar!

Very nice! Classy looking finish. Off to listen to the clip!
Congrats.

Curious why you brought back the XTL?

Two reasons.

Firstly, it was giving me hassle with recording. Somehow it managed to screw up all of my settings on the PC so I was having problems with levels etc.

Secondly, I've had a guitar port for two years, and it only cost £100. For the £319 I payed for the XL Live I only found about two or three new amps I'd use, and a couple of pedals. And to me, that's not worth £319.
