The Future - Maded in the US NOW WITH DEMO!

Post by deadonkey »

She is here!

Godin Radiator, chrome/mirror finish.
Plays like it's worth a lot more than it is
Made from hand crafted canadian parts and assembled in the USA. Or so I'm told.
The single coils are almost noiseless and very, very beefy. almost p90ish, they growl like nobody's business. the guitar sounds like the beefiest strat/tele hybrid you've ever heard on the bridge pickup, bridge and neck together gives beautiful chimey cleans through the ac30 modeller of the ad30vt, neck alone is jazzy and warm but still springy.

i adjusted the action on the e string and it plays amazingly, it's a bit beat up and hasn't had a good setup for years, but it's already playing soooo nicely, once i spend some time on it it'll be awesome.
the neck is pretty small, tuners are great, fretwork is perfect.
i've been playing almost only hollow electrics for the past 2 years or so, so to be back in the world of solidbodies with such a tiny guitar is a change.

The only ones I've seen have that lame pearloid top (not to hate on pearloid, just don't like plastic everywhere). That's an awesome guit.

chrome knobs with the chrome top = classy.

Very cool....I haven't played a Godin in a long time but I seem to remember them being very "pro" feeling if a tad generic (the solidbodies). As a specialty guitar (resonator), I bet it slays.

Those the description of those pups sounds really cool as well.

I completely misunderstood that comment, and thought you meant David Bellamy because he had taken his shots out in the garden. Made me giggle for ages, and I have David Bellamy stuck in my head going "Hewree we awre in the ggaaaawrden".

Only to find out you meant that Muse fella.

SSers under 30 or not from the UK, sorry that this post makkes no sense.

Both work.

Bellamyed (or Bellamied) is my favourite phrase to use to describe guitars.
