Godin
Guitars • Godin started building guitars
over twenty years ago in a village in Quebec Canada called
La Patrie. The man that started it all is Robert Godin. Robert
still owns the company and he continues to design the vast
majority of their guitars.

Godin
is a Canadian company with offices located in Montreal
and they build guitars in four different locations, three
in Quebec and one in New Hampshire. Godin guitars are assembled
in the Berlin, New Hampshire factory. The necks and bodies
are all made in the original location in La
Patrie, Quebec. Godin is also known for acoustic guitars which
include the brands : Seagull, Simon & Patrick,
Norman, LaPatrie and Art & Lutherie.

From
the beginning Godin has been more or less divided between the
acoustic side and electric side. The electric side of their business
was originally
that of a parts supplier to other guitar companies. Godin built
their necks and bodies. What started out as some generic replacement
necks and bodies soon evolved into a major business producing
finished necks
and bodies for many established U.S. guitar companies. The great
thing about this is the tremendous experience Godin gained
building all of these instruments to their various specifications.

New Guitar Concepts
Unlike many other instruments that follow a fairly strict set of
design parameters-such as most orchestral instruments-guitars
truly lend themselves to variation in design. This capacity
for variation manifests itself in two ways, there
is the visual variation such as, the lightning-bolt-shaped-pointy-headstock-you're-obviously-not-in-an-easy-listening-band
guitar. IE: Guitars as fashion statements. Don't
get
us wrong, Godin is committed to high aesthetic values in
their designs but what they find most compelling is the
other
type of variation inspired by the endless musical possibilities
in guitar design. From designing a Nylon string guitar that
can
be played at stage volumes and feel comfortable (Multiacs)
to the creation of the multiple-voice instruments in the
Godin Signature Series, exploring new design
possibilities is an integral part of what they do.
