Versatile Single-Cutaway Solidbody
The Godin LG is a classic single-cutaway solidbody electric guitar from Godin’s Performance Series, blending Les Paul-inspired warmth with Strat-like playability. Ideal for rock, blues, and indie players across Australia, it features a mahogany body, maple neck, and P-90 pickups for a punchy, vintage tone. Available in finishes like Trans Amber Burst and Trans Black, it’s praised for its comfort, resonance, and value, making it a reliable choice for stage and studio.
High-Quality Performance
The LG delivers a warm, articulate tone with excellent sustain:
- Body: Carved mahogany slab body with a single cutaway for ergonomic comfort and balance. Mahogany provides a warm, resonant tone with strong mids and smooth highs, ideal for classic rock and blues.
- Pickups: Dual Godin Tetrad Combo P-90s (or Seymour Duncan SP-90s in later models) offer vintage-inspired tones with punchy attack and clarity. The 3-way toggle switch allows neck, bridge, or both configurations for versatile rhythm and lead sounds.
- Neck: Bolt-on maple with a rosewood fingerboard, 24 3/4″ scale length, and 1 11/16″ nut width for fast, smooth playability. The C-shaped profile suits both chording and solos.
- Bridge: Tune-O-Matic with stopbar tailpiece for stable intonation and sustain; optional tremolo bridge available on some models.
- Controls: Two volume and two tone knobs with a 3-way toggle switch for precise tone shaping.
Users praise its resonance and comfort, with a KrisPicks review noting, “The LG Signature is a dream to play, with P-90s that sing for pop, blues, rock, and jazz.” Some mention the bolt-on neck enhances snap but may lack the warmth of set-necks.
