Godin Is Great For Any Style

My music style is hard rock/metal. I use this guitar into either a Marshall 900 stack or into a Marshall Valvestate 100watt combo. The guitars bridge pickup is phenomenal. The best pickup I have ever heard for lead tones. very high output, pushes the amp right into overdrive. lovely sustain. incredible tone. This is the ultimate rock/metal pickup. The bridge pickup is a Jazz 2 and is less output and the sound is much warmer, fatter and less harsh. playing lead you can get great bluesy tones with less distortion. It's a good rhythm pickup but for that I prefer the piezos. The piezo pickups are probably meant to be used with an acoustic amp, but I used it with my marshall and the result was incredible. On a clean channel, the guitar can almost sound like an acoustic, but I used on the gain channel and got a great rhythm sound. Think of an acoustic guitar plugged in to a marshall stack cranked to ten. You hear every note ring through even with silly amounts of gain the sound doesn't get muddy. For this reason I play rhythm with the piezos and usually mix in a bit of the humbuckers to get a great tone. This guitar is very quiet, excellent quality humbuckers. Great guitar for any style.

This Mulitac Nylon SA is going to be a little bit different from TC Signature. This is a mammoth situation.

Painstaking. These are rocky times. This is based on a true story.

A little amount of patience and hard work are key. Finding the right Godin guitar to use is probably one of the easiest things to do.

It's not one made from one of these boutique guitar makers but it is a great guitar just the same.
