The highly anticipated Godin Icon's have finally arrived in our store. Why such a big deal you ask? Well, first of all they are a formidable competitor to the Gibson Les Paul. Secondly, they are made by Godin in Canada which mean they possess legendary awesome quality. Thirdly, these guitars are less then half the cost of a similar Gibson.

Now, there have been a lot of comparisons between these guitars and Gibson Les Paul's for somewhat obvious reasons. They look very similar, they have somewhat similar pick up configurations and they are made from similar woods. They are also geared towards a similar sound. That said, these guitars take the traditional Gibson format to a new level with a number of very unique features.

The Type 2 Fat Black model comes with a Godin GHN1 neck humbucker and a Seymour Duncan '59 in the bridge position. The Type 2 Classic has same pick up set up. The Type 2 Convertible has 2 Seymour Duncan P-Rail pickups with a 3 way switch and two mini switches. The Type 3 has three Lollar P90 single coil pickups and a 5 way switch. All models have the High-Definition Revoicer circuit which changes the tonal characteristic of each position. These various pick up configurations offer players tons of new tone possibilities.

All of the models are made from chambered solid mahogany with a carved mahogany top which produce that big fat sound. In a nutshell, these guitars sound awesome and I dare say a fair bit more versatile then their Gibson cousins. We're pretty excited about them and can't wait to start showing them off. We have 4 different models in stock now for you to give try.
