Brand New Axe: Godin LGX

I just got a new guitar, the Godin LGX, and I'm happier than Michael Jackson inside a pre-school.  (Sorry MJ, you're still the man!).  It's a beautiful piece of work and sounds like cheddahh.

What are Godin guitars??  Don't worry, many people are unaware of them.  Godin guitars are a rare gem in the guitar world that offer exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and originality for musicians at an unbeatable value.  My first guitar teacher owned a Godin and ever since my first lesson (YEARS ago) I've been determined to own one of them.  Here's a little review and information on the Godin LGX.


why the lgx?
This guitar is the ultimate versatile instrument.  The incredible part is that it features a 2-Voice technology.  One is the exceptionally clean electric output produced by the custom humbucker pickups.  The other is an acoustic output that's produced by the L.R. Baggs saddle pickup.  This makes your electric guitar sound frighteningly close to a real acoustic guitar.  You can use them separately or together along with the 5-way switch to produce a large palette of sounds.

construction
The body is made of mahagony and capped with a maple carved top.  The neck is made of honduras mahogany which is typically a wood of choice for quality acoustic instruments.  My favorite part is the blue flame.  The finish is hot as Megan Fox.  Oww!

pickups
Even if you can't play to save your life, pluck a few notes.  You'll be an instant rockstar.  Each note is crystal clear with warm and crisp tones.  Using the different combinations of the acoustic, electric, and 5-way switch, I found myself in a playground of sound that will be useful for both live and recording applications.  I've already begun recording some music with this bad boy and the other guitars I've used in the past aren't even in the same league.

Electric (Neck) - The neck uses a Seymour Duncan SH II Jazz 
Electric (Bridge) - The bridge has a Seymour Duncan Custom III.


I'll be sure to post something that I've used my new guitar in soon.  However, I will be in Spain starting on Friday.  So it will have to wait until I return from the land of tapas and siestas.  Until then, here are some pictures of my new axe.  Enjoy.
