Godin Guitars

Godin Guitars was founded by Robert Godin in 1972 in Canada, in a small Rural Quebec village. Robert Godin had a vision for quality, domestic, handmade instruments and this vision is not only still true today but thriving with many massive artists choosing Godin guitars for their world touring rigs. Now 50 years later Godin guitars are driven by Roberts sons, Simon and Patrick. While the company has modernised its facilities with the use of CNC machines the guitars are still firmly considered handbuilt, providing quality instruments for musicians the world over. Godin guitars offers a true alternative to the usual styles and shapes of electric guitars that we see every day.

One of Godin's major successes is their hugely popular Multiac series which combines the best elements of electric guitars and classical guitars to create a guitar that faces few contenders when it comes to on stage performance. This isn't all they make though as Godin continues to build guitars that provide all the features you could ever need in the studio, on the stage, or at home. The Godin Session line for example combines classic tone woods with name brand pickups in a very versatile setup that makes them fairly unstoppable no matter the genre. Add to this a line of semi acoustic guitars with their popular 5th avenue series and Godin have an option for every player whether you're an experimental player, jazz, rock, or pop, there is a Godin waiting for you!

Godin guitars are diverse in design. Solid body guitars with synth-ready technology rub shoulders with defiantly retro hollow body jazz guitars such as the Godin 5th Avenue. This works for Godin since there is a real cohesion to the overall design styles. Their most technologically advanced instruments are quite classically styled. At the same time, their most traditional instruments are made with cutting edge design and manufacturing innovations. There is a real balance to the work carried out - to a large degree by hand - in Quebec by Godin. Godin electric guitars are the central nucleus of a large family of brands. Norman, Seagull, La Patrie, Art & Lutherie and Simon & Patrick are other brands within the Godin family.
