Godin is a Canadian guitar manufacturer. It is owned by Robert Godin. == History == Godin started building Robert Godin's guitars in 1972 in La Patrie, Quebec. Godin Guitars' head office is located in Montreal, and they build their instruments in six factories in four different locations, three in Quebec and one in New Hampshire. Godin Guitars makes instruments under several different labels. ''Norman'' makes entry- to mid-level acoustic guitars. ''Art & Lutherie'' makes entry-level budget guitars. The ''Simon and Patrick'' brand make mid- to high-range steel-string acoustics. ''La Patrie'' manufactures classical guitars. ''Seagull'' is known for manufacturing solid wood entry- to mid-range acoustic guitars. Guitars under the ''Godin'' brand are primarily mid-range to top-of the-line electrics that are made of high quality wood from the northeastern part of North America. They have many models that feature synth pickups and some with piezo pickup-equipped bridges. ''Godin'' are notable for their use of synthesizer pickups as a standard feature in their high end models, and many of their electric models use piezo-acoustic pickups integrated with the bridge assembly. Aside from their technical innovations, Godin has a strong reputation among guitarists for their product quality. Most Godin guitars have the same distinctive, yet traditional, body shape, which has been described as a hybrid of the Gibson Les Paul and Fender Telecaster bodies. Godin's guitars have won several awards, including Guitar Player Magazine's Editors Pick for the LG, Exit 22, and Freeway Classic. Notable Godin players include Sylvain Luc, Leonard Cohen, John McLaughlin, Muammer Ardy, Daryl Stuermer, Eric McFadden, Steve Stevens, Habib Koité, Andreu Zaragoza, Michael ATONAL VVVick, RG Hughson, Rumesh De Mel, Emilee Petersmark, Michael Holmes, Elliott Sharp, Tim Brady, Hugh Cornwell, Jandek, La Barranca, Roger Waters, G.E. Smith, Curtis Merriman, Paolo Hemming, Hiran and Vinnie Moore. They are also very common among session players and sidemen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Godin (guitar manufacturer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
