Godin Icon 2 Convertable
Posted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:02 pm
I was just on the Godin website taking a poke around. I'd played one of their Multiac Spectrum yesterday and really liked it, so I was taking a look at the specs. I looked around a little more and found the Icon series and saw the Icon 2 Convertable, noting that it comes equipped with Seymour Duncan P-Rails stock in the neck and bridge. Given the general interest by some users in P-Rails, I thought I'd share it here.
Interesting to see guitars taking advantage of the P-Rails with appropriate switching in the control design.
P-Rails with individual setting toggles (but not triple shot rings), mahogany set-neck w/ ebony fingerboard, chambered/carved mahogany body, Gibson scale... it's essentially a Canadian Les Paul
From the video demo on the Godin site, it seems pretty versatile and sounds decent. Of course, it sells for $1400, so it better sound good
From my experience, though, Godins in that price range feel/play like goddamn dreams. The Spectrum did and it was a little cheaper; I'm also partial to the Montreal, priced a bit higher. Very smooth playing instruments.

I haven't played a lot of Gibsons, but they've all been at least $1000, and I've only been impressed with a couple of them.
