Gus on 04/06/2012	Very good !! Godin its a quality brand !!
Thomas on 01/02/2012	Tom Tom Tom how wrong u are, it's all about hand made and great luthiers, nothing can duplicate a certain tone, not a guitarist hands that's for sure. It's called brain washed. Take Gibson for instance, all cnc made are they worth 2000. To 3000. For a lespaul he'll no that's what a hand made guitar is suppose to cost get it, it's all a scam. Unless u like eying mcdonalds every day. Even famous top guitarist admit they represent companies guitars for the money and fame they get,while there favorite guitar is handmade by a very good luthier, it's called labour of love. Your right about one thing hand made very expensive not suppose to be that much. The market has gone all to shit.
EVS on 11/04/2011	Great video, love the tour. Makes you appreciate more the guitar you have on your hands.
Tom on 07/28/2011	Lou, hand-made guitars are fine for those can afford them, but factory-made guitars have made the instrument accessible even to those who don't have thousands of dollars to spend. Even factory-made guitars vary widely in tone due to variations in wood. In fact, the main variable in a guitar's sound is in the player's hands, not the luthier's. You should appreciate the good quality factory-made guitars that help us get to the stage in our playing where we might actually want (and afford) one of your hand-made creations.
Keith Roscoe on 06/23/2011	Wow, how lucky we are to be able to visit this great guitar factory. I am impressed with how much hand work is still used along with the cnc and custom machines and jigs. I learned a lot. Thanks.
Lou on 06/23/2011	Being a hands on Lutherie it is really sad to see Robots and CNC machines taking the place of a human touch. Sure every guitar is identical and flawless but in doing so individuality and uniqueness of tone is lost. This is the epitome of cookie cutter, just imagine had Stradivarious used these methods what it would have done to the ultimate value of his instruments
vasto on 06/23/2011	Your mag is great. This interview could have been great but terrible production values. How about investing in a wireless mic. I like my Seagull folk
PierreBPSPG on 06/23/2011	Very complete & interesting video !
Bas on 06/23/2011	Very good demon because we can see all process of Godin guitar and prove that the quality of all guitars are in standard product & sound.
Shtew on 06/22/2011	Very interesting...thanx! Suggestion: Two lavalier mics and some compression on the audio...;-)
