HEy i just came back from 'the guitar store' in sri hartamas and i saw this Godin guitar tht was just sweet..it had tremelo , S-S-H pickups , LP like body but with strat head...for rm1800 ... is it good?

at first i wanted to get sx but the guy said may need to change the fret thing every 3 years or something like tht...

so i tought ok...epiphone then...but the guy said epiphone now made in china and quality dropped

so now im not sure what to get...

I need to have

-H-S-H pickups or those humbuckers tht look like 2 single coil side by side ...
-5-way selector switch
-LP like body


is Godin guitars good?

usually LP has H-H instead of H-S-H or H-S-S

LP guitars don't have 5 way switches.

And do you REALLY need a 5 way switch?

My best 3 guitars are all 3 way toggles.....

hmm........ but I AM tempted to go for Mark Morton's signature Dominator guitar.....individual coil-tapped humbuckers..... YUM!

Yeah, Godin guitars are pretty good & you shouldn't go wrong with them. So far, haven't heard any complaints from their users... yet.

5 way switch will give u more tone variety...my friend have a godin guitar, and i think the guitar your talking about is the one my friend use...not bad...

cheaper godin guitars usually have bodies made from poplar.
ie. same material as the older fender mexican models.
now fender mexican are using traditional alder like US.

so basically you're just paying more for its 'assembled in the US tag'.

well im not really sure ...cos the guy say when strumming on humbuckers its very heavy so its not nice ....then he say can switch the humbucker to single coil

humbuckers like this can switch to use single coil....
(......)
(......)

and humbuckers like this cannot

I......I
I___ I

i know LP doesnt have H-S-H and S-S-H... just saying i want something tht looks like LP

Where's this shop?
The LYN gang should just have a gathering there and make the guy cry with all the questions we ask.

any humbucker with 4 conductor wires, 2 for each coil, can be changed to single coil.
just cos a humbucker looks like 2 singlecoils side by side, doesnt mean it can be changed to single.

again, he needs to get smacked.
i hate to say this, but hes a stupid noob.

okok....

so do you guys know any good guitar

tht looks like LP( dont have to be exact)
H-H or H-S-H pickups
and can coil tap

Another Noob......
The guy in Yamaha Curve.....
I told him I wanted an all-tube amp.

He says "Yeah! Come here bro! GOt this damn chun wan!"

Guess what? Solid State.

"No.... I meant all tube.... Both tube in Pre-amp and Power-amp section"

"OH! That one! Got! Got! This one here! Damn hardcore!"

"Um..... that's just tube-enabled. I want an all tube 50watter"

"Oh... eer.... lemme check.... sorry man... don't have wan here. Maybe you give me the model number and then I check"

"Nevermind."

well, if that godin can coil-tap, go get it.

another option is the ibanez SZ520, one of the rare few ibanez that i dont mind.
comes with ibanez duncan pickups, coil-tap also.
basically its LP specs but in a strat design.

yea...maybe i sould save all the trouble and get the godin....but its S-S-H woould prefer H-S-H

seriously, you do not need S-S-H, or H-S-H, or A-B-C.
any 3 pickup combo takes getting used to, cos the middle pickup WILL get in the way of your pick.

gonna buy roland cube 20x rm700+ with it and i get 3 month free lessons

Good choice man! Now you'll need an awesome guitar!

i've tried it out and 3 pickups are ok...dont really have a prob

heh, this reminds me of a certain store that starts with the letter M.
anyone wanna buy vowels?

the boss will come in, act nice nice and all.
convince you to buy a nice nice guitar and say he'll teach you etc etc.
he is good at guitar for sure.
but once you buy it, he wont teach you and someone else will.

so yea, whos gonna be giving you those 3 month free lessons?
their plumber?
