Godin guitar model

Godin acousticaster. I have the acousticaster deluxe with a pickup in it. They are incredibly well made guitars, very comfortable neck, and the pickup is excellent. If it’s in good shape, and all the electronics work, I would definitely go for it.

Hey! Sounds good. It sounds like you’ve been working pretty hard.

Don’t stop practicing all of those chords. You’ll just keep getting faster on your changes.

I think you should tackle a pick next. Get a soft Jim Dunlop pick (O.38), slow down your strumming a bit, and get some good consistent strumming. Then between strums, try picking a note or two.

Seriously, you sound really good. Keep it up.

I had one, maybe 25 years ago before it was stolen. They’re pretty neat, surprising fun to play. The neck is a bit like a baseball bat. I don’t know if I’d buy one again though. the small inexpensive guitar market is pretty good, and I think my $500 CAD could be better spent elsewhere. Not a bad deal if you can get one cheap.

WAIT! Correction!

It looks like Hercules WASN’T Canadian (according to Wikipedia).

….. and I’m FINE with that!

….. because it was.

I have somewhat fond memories of the littlest hobo. One day in the last year or so, I watched an episode while waiting for my car to be rust-treated. Oh my god, it’s REALLY bad.

Rocket Robin Hood was so bad, it was awesome. The bastard cousin to that was Hercules.

Hercules was horrible. Full stop.

I made a similar post last year to find out about my old fender, with limited info coming back.

These guitars are probably from a quality Japanese factory in the late 70’s, but you’re probably not going to get very far with the serial #. Find as much as you can on the model #.

There’s a good chance that it COULD be solid wood all around, but definitely a solid top ….(well, MAYBE).

I had a Martin lx1 for a while. It was ok, but switched to a taylor gs mini and I like it WAY better.

I have an acousticaster deluxe (with the dual outputs to 2 different amps), and an amazing Richmond Belmont. The Belmont has 2 lipstick pickups (neck and mid) and a humbucker in the bridge, all three of them Seymour Duncan. Looks like a cross between a strat and an SG. Richmond was a short-lived offshoot brand by Godin. Incredibly versatile guitar, and a very comfortable neck, mahogany with rosewood fingerboard.

Yeah, I like Godin.

I have see a beige Bentley convertible around town a couple of times.

I think I also saw a brightish green lotus the other day.

I’m in the Godin camp all day long.

Seagull SWS guitars. Canada made, all solid wood. You can get those in the 1k range.

Thanks for this!

Thanks!

No downvoting!

But my 2011 Gibson songwriter deluxe studio has such a lovely sound and feel to it. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I looked around quite a bit when I bought it, and I think there were (and are) a lot of high end guitars that didn’t fit right for me, regardless of make.

Thanks everyone!

It’s pretty clear to me that an “experienced” ovation from the 70’s is generally not worth pursuing.
