I'd been thinking about a G&L Legacy Tribute or MIM Fender, but not looking to buy. An earlier/discontinued Godin Progression pretty much fell into my lap yesterday. Found it at a small hobby shop up the street that also gives music lessons. This is a place that may have 3 or 4 cheap imports hanging on the wall in a small partitioned area that's more like the red headed step child of the store than a "music section". I go in occasionally to pick up small parts for model railroad, which is why I was in yesterday. I never bother to check the guitars. Yesterday I did. I was shocked to see the Godin hanging there. Apparently it was a purchase for someone at the store and ended up abandoned. At any rate, it's NOS/Mint, still had hang tags. Not a mark on her except for a very faint black "stain" on bottom curve of the headstock (looks like from hanging on the wall hanger). Plain strings were corroded. Polished frets, oiled the neck, restrung. I don't think I'm going to have to touch the action ... maybe a tweak. $450, with the gig bag, OTD. I think that's a pretty nice deal.
