Godin Semi-Hollow and Hollow Body Electric Guitars

Robert Godin was always going to be in the guitar business. He began playing at 7, and by the age of 15 was offering lessons and repairs out of his aunt’s music shop. It only made sense that he eventually formed Godin Guitars and made it official. Originally a supplier of generic replacement necks and bodies, the quality of the work produced by Godin and his team was readily apparent, and soon they were building finished parts for major guitar companies. Of course, the only logical next step was to begin building guitars of their own. With the belief that guitars naturally lend themselves to exciting variations in design, Godin set out to innovate and push the instrument forward. Over 20 years later, their semi-hollow and hollow body guitars are some of the most revered on the market. Godin guitars are played by some seriously heavy hitters in the music world. Legends and up-and-comers alike appreciate their incredibly designs and versatility. Ritchie Blackmore, Win Butler of the Arcade Fire, Billy Corgan, Tony Fredianelli, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Darryl Hall, Jeff Lynne, Roger Waters, and Brian May are just a few of the artists who are proud to play a Godin. Now it’s time for you to join the club.
