Bluesape Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Well, my Strats are among the heaviest guitars I own. My Godin Artisan TC is by far the lightest. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caprae Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I just received a set of Bill (and Becky) Lawrence pickups for my Freeway Classic. I'm replacing the Humbs with BL's P90 style pickup and the middle with the single coil they recommended. I'm hoping to get a friend to play and record a before and after so you guys can have a listen. I still need to get new pots and either a push-pull tone so I can active all three pickups at once, or three mini-switches to active the three pickups as needed.

songkid Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Another new guy here. I own an A6 (blue burst) and an Artisan TC (tobacco burst). Godin are absolutely the greatest. Does anyone know where to get specs or parts for these models? Specifically, I am looking for pickup covers for my TC. They are the stock double rail type. Mine are cracked and in serious need of replacement as the pickup height cannot be adjusted. Any inside info would be greatly appreciated! be well, songkid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caprae Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 welcome, songkid. Stick around a while and feel free to contribute. Have you emailed Godin about your needs? I've found it can take three or four days, but they've always answered all of my questions. Raise your children and spoil your grandchildren. Spoil your children and raise your grandchildren.

bluesy10 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi people Ok after finally getting my new guitar (GODIN RADIATOR) I think I need a new drum machine too for use on my 4 track and occasional stage use (small hall stuff only) Im really out of touch with new models buying my last one about 12 years back It needs to be reasonably versatile and able to cover...rock..country,,60s light rock. I wondered about the low end zoom or boss Can anyone advise... I tried harmony central and couldnt find my way to drum machines for some reason. Thanks Guitarzan for your input on the godin best regds Len uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesy10 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Oh the Godin is beautiful. I cant belive how nicely finished it is and it chimes very brightly. Just what I needed One of the nicest little guitars Ive used. It feels as if it was put together with care... not something Ive seen with other similar priced instruments or some more expensive ones come to that !!

Thanks Guitarzan for your input on the godin best regds Len uk I have a Zoom 606 (or something) and like all cheapish drum machines, it's a bitch to programme. I downloaded a prog (free) called 'HYDROGEN' onto my laptop which I read about either here or the Lowdown. I haven't had much time to play with it yet, but it looks much easier to use and I think you can download a library of stuff & re-use it if it suits. G.

The Big G Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Ahhhh Godin...... just great guitars, i am after a freeway classic in congac burst if i can get a good secondhand (if anyone is selling) But my LGXT is just excellent, a great guitar in its own right with bags and bags of sustain but also hooked up as a synth guitar its spectacular. cant rave about it enough just fab, the synth tracking is great and works fab, the roland peadls are brilliant also. On the drum machine I have one built into my zoom recording studio (MRS802) and like it a lot, simple to use and has good variety in it, not top end or anything like but good enough for me and very good value. Enjoy whatever you get G Love life, some twists and turns are more painful than others, but love life..... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=592101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesy10 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi people Thanks for the info... yes the Godin. Although the Radiator is the bottom rung,, its just so nice. I was very surprised at the quality and feel of the guitar. I would have bought 2 of em. Every part of it was perfectly finished and assembled.It is quite sedate but it suits my playing at the moment and the sustain is pretty good. It drives effects well and is quiet. regds Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesy10 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I will put a track on soundclick of the Radiator as soon as I can........ just current compositions there at the moment acoustic and strat vocals www.soundclick.com/bluesy10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caprae Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 The Big G - I was selling the Freeway you describe (I believe). No one wanted one with the rosewood fingerboard. I just bought some Bill (and Becky) Lawrence P90 pickups for it, but haven't put them in yet. How interested are you? The worst I can say is it has some very light pick marks if you hold it in the light the right way. http://homepage.mac.com/nagormit/PhotoAlbum1.html Raise your children and spoil your grandchildren.

old newbie Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I too am getting a Freeway Classic. I wanted a MexStrat, but the Godin sounded and felt mucho mejor in the shop. The sales guy was a hot player, and the Freeway made all the sounds I want to make when I grow up. And it's cheaper. Next comes rat cunning. I sold an old stereo amp, I've hosted a medical seminar and paid for it with my Visa, so the refund will pay for my Visa payments for two months. Hence the amount I normally put aside for debt servicing will on, yes, the Godin Freeway! Everybody wins! (No, don't poke holes in this if you see any obvious errors, reality disturbs me). Well, I had to, this Freeway is the last one left in the country (NZ). I just felt like having a plug-in guitar after futzing with the Variax's connectors, and the Zoom pedal needed to try and make it seem "real". My Ibanez AM73 doesn't get as much play as it deserves, either. I think the Freeway covers all the bases, from lovely Fender tones, to more hard edged grunty blues and rock (but not metal -Eeeuww!) I'm not tired, I just think better lying down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
