    does anyone else play them? if so, which model(s), and what do you like about them?

    I own a Godin electric Exit 22 model, its a good quality guitar that plays and feels nice, moderately priced at around $450 cdn

    the only downside is that it doesnt fit a whammy bar (without modifications, which are rather expensive)

    I also own an Art & Lutherie acoustic, which is a fine guitar as well, especially considering that I paid about $240 cdn for it

    Godin makes some of the best instruments for the money on the current market, in my opinion. I used to play a Godin A8 mandolin and I never should have sold it, but I needed a Gibby... I was thinking about getting a Godin Montreal or an Ibanez Artcore if I felt like I didn't want to spend as much, but I found that Bonnie Raitt strat for a good deal. Martin Sexton is probably my favorite guitarist who plays Godins. I got the A8 mandolin after seeing Jeff Pevar playing one with Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

    yeah, the mandolins are awesome being electric and all but here theyre going for around $800 which is too much for me to afford

    ive had both my guitars for 2 months, which is half the time ive been playing

    I play a Godin, Godin LG costed about $800 US, I believe. I wouldn't trade this guitar for anything I can get so many sounds out of it. The LG has amazing sustain and tone, I definetly recommend it to anyone. Godin makes some fine quality instruments, best guitars I have ever played hands down.

    I played one once. I liked IT better than those silly-assed OVATION guitars.
    I prefer Wood over plastic for an acoustic.

    I have a Norman B18(6) guitar, so it's a branch of the Godin company. :D

    It's satin-finished with a tobacco burst colour.

    I looooooove it like no other and it sounds amazing. Even George (orsino2) agrees. :D I passed up martins for it :D

    I play a Godin Solidac Two-Voice model .. has both amp and pa(for acoustic guitar sound) plug-in spots. I love it. It is my baby. <3 more than my Gibson Les Paul, Mockingbird BC Rich combined.. I'll post a picture if I can find one.

    I also own a Seagull acoustic guitar. Seagull is Godin's acoustic branch.

    AHA! here it is! The blue one. <3 <3
    Mine has a black pick guard on it though. I think it looks cool.

    Thost quilted tops look great. Never played a godin though. So can't really help you on that. Why are you asking anyhow, looking for a new guitar or something ?
