Godin Guitars

Godin Guitars makes instruments under several different labels. Norman makes entry to mid level acoustic guitars. Art & Lutherie makes entry level budget guitars. The Simon and Patrick brand make mid- to high range steel string acoustics. La Patrie manufactures classical guitars. Seagull is known for manufacturing solid wood entry to mid range acoustic guitars. Guitars under the Godin brand are primarily mid-range to top of the line electrics that are made of high quality wood from the northeastern part of North America. They have many models that feature synth pickups and some with piezo pickup equipped bridges. Godin are notable for their use of synthesizer pickups as a standard feature in their high end models, and many of their electric models use piezo acoustic pickups integrated with the bridge assembly. Aside from their technical innovations, Godin has a strong reputation among guitarists for their product quality. Most Godin guitars have the same distinctive, yet traditional, body shape, which has been described as a hybrid of the Gibson Les Paul and Fender Telecaster bodies
