how do you like this one? i've always thought their mandolins were the best electric acoustic ones around (ok, the best for under $1000), and see the guitars used every so often. was thinking about getting one for my son.
The Godin guitars were the best when they first came on the market, because they provided good level without nasty feedback. However, the technology of acoustic guitar pickups has increased enormously since then and I personally prefer playing an acoustic guitar that actually looks like an acoustic, so I reverted to a Martin Dreadnought a few years ago. It's worth pointing out however that Paul Scully, our front of house sound man, would still rather I played the Godin. I use it on a couple of the "Hell's Ditch" songs still.
