The
Freeway Classic is the first double cutaway design by Godin in
several years. The basic formula
is classic Godin, versatile, blues/rock gigging machine with ‘boutique
guitar’ build-quality at a blue-collar price.
Godin’s rock maple necks are known throughout the guitar industry for outstanding
feel and boundless sustain. The 25 1⁄2” scale neck on the Freeway
features Godin’s ergo-cut shape and medium jumbo frets. Neck stability
is insured by a double-action truss system capable of adding and removing relief
in the neck.
The body consists of a center block of silver-leaf maple with light
poplar wings. Silver-leaf maple is an excellent tone wood with a weight and density
similar to mahogany. The warm tone of the silver-leaf provides a perfect compliment
to the rock maple neck. To ensure that we get the most from this potent combination,
each neck and body are joined with a perfect wood-to-wood connection—free
of paint or glue—that delivers maximum neck/body energy transfer.To balance
the guitar and achieve a comfortable weight the silver leaf core is flanked with
light poplar wings. This ultimately produces a comfortably light guitar.
The Godin humbucker-single-humbucker pickup configuration makes the most of excellent
response of the Freeway.
