This Godin core with humbuckers is a great guitar, comparable to many others at twice the price. The built quality surpasses many expensive solid bodies (hear that Gibson). I traded a Les Paul Traditional for this model with absolutely no regrets. It fits my playing style (jazz and blues) perfectly and will be my only guitar for some time. Try one out and hear for yourself.

Plain and simply a well thought out and solid guitar. It looks great, but still is really a no frills guitar. No bells and whistles here. It does what it does well, and that's play rock music. The pickups have a nice traditional Les Paul type tone through any amp. The wonderful sustain of this guitar may have you not using compression at all. It's easy to get bluesy too by backing off the guitar volume a bit. You don't have to put the palm of your hand on the bridge and mute the strings with this guitar. You can just strum it like an acoustic if you like. The frets are well dressed and the strings don't buzz. I like how easy it is to play open chords. Many electrics with high fat frets and narrow necks make playing open chords low on the neck almost impossible without the chords sounding sour. I like the unique bridge and the tuners are smooth. It's worth the money and a pleasure to play.

I just recently purchased this guitar not because I was shopping for a new guitar but because I had some time to kill, picked up this guitar and literally could not put it down. This is truly one of the most comfortable necks I have ever played. I own high end Gibson, ESP, and Fender guitars and this Beauty gives all of them a solid run. The chambered body adds to the warmth and smoothness of this guitar. The pickups are surprisingly very clear and responsive to picking attack. It cleans up very nicely. After playing it for nearly an hour at the store, it had to be purchased. I dont regret it although I wish it came with a Hard Shell case, something which I will need to buy when I get around to it. Dont let the price scare you off, it easily holds up to Gibson SGs and LP Studios for about 3/4 the price.

Was looking for a HB guitar. Tried a lot of guitars. The Godin has great tone and is easily the most comfortable neck I have ever tried. Amazing quality and made in Canada! Several Gibson LPs I tried did not feel or sound nearly as good IMO.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
