The
Detour adds another double cutaway solid-body to Godin’s
growing roster of Performance Series guitars. The short-scale (24
3⁄4”), rock maple, neck provides both easy string bending
and a comfortable, compact feel. A block of Silver-Leaf Maple provides
a solid anchor point for the bridge and neck with balance provided
by light Poplar wings on each side of the body. Maximum neck/body
resonance is further assured by the super-tight neck pocket, which
is masked prior to finishing to make sure that there is no paint
or finish residue left to impede a perfect wood-on-wood connection.
Strings pass through a brass plate in the back of the guitar and
through the body for maximum sustain. All of this exceptional resonance
is captured by two Godin humbucking pickups.
The neck and body of the Detour are crafted in La Patrie, Quebec and assembled
at Godin USA in Berlin, New Hampshire.
