Godin LGX-SA Review

History:

Purchase: I purchased this guitar at Mars for $1400. I mainly got this guitar because it had electric and accoustic sounds. Later I bought a VG-8 and a GR-30 to make use of the thirteen pin output for Roland midi devices.

Pros: Looks:With it's amber flame finish sitting next to my PRS with a black flame finish, Fantastic. (Hard to believe but I won't be looking for another guitar while I have these two.)It has a maple capped mahogeny body with a four bolt mahogeny neck with a maple capped headstock. Playability: Great! It has an ebony fret board and I seem to be able to play it better than any other guitar except the PRS



Cons: I've had this guitar for around three years and the only thing I could find fault with is restringing the lighter strings. It restrings from the back like the telecaster and needs a ferrule to run from the back side to the front side. Maybe it could use a larger hole on the front side.

LGX-SA Quality: Neck: mahogeny with a maple capped headstock Body: mahogeny with a maple capped top Pick-ups: two Seymour Duncans Controls: five way switch for the magnetic pickups. Selects humbucking or single coil. Volume and tone for magnetics. Volume, bass, mid and treble for accoustic pickup (LR Baggs) Volume and two selector switches for the Roland products. Outputs: one quarter inch for magnetic pickups, one quarter inch for combination magnetic and accoustic pickup one thirteen pin for all three sources

Godin Summary: This is one guitar I couldn't do without. I would buy another if something would happen to it. When I had a problem with the thirteen cable making noise at the output, I emailed Godin and they sent me another pc board with the output on it for free and with no hassles. It was nice dealing with them.
