Just glanced at your post and before reading I was like, "There's no way Godin made something like that!"I have a P-Rails - Hot in my Death Kitty. It's killer in humbucker mode and the P90 coil has some serious girth to it.

Understood, but unfortunately you need to shim the neck to body junction (unless you get lucky).Godins almost always come with high action out of the factory. They expect you to get the guitar set up and adjusted to your preference since everyone is different.
I had my luthier file down the saddle and nut and that did the trickUnderstood, but unfortunately you need to shim the neck to body junction (unless you get lucky).
Which model do you have / recommend? The synth option is cool but I don't see myself using it. Maybe I'll give it another go.I had my luthier file down the saddle and nut and that did the trick
I've had 2 LGX-SA's over the years. Great guitars even without the synth access. I had one red/burgundy flame top & one blue flame top just like the one pictured by the OP. As a matter of fact, that looks exactly like my most recent one which I sold a few years back.So I bought a Godin LGX SA recently (Trans Blue AAA Flame Maple) and absolutely love it. I have to eat some crow because I previously posted in @la noise 's thread "Any 335's Up In Here??" that I'd never found a solid body I liked. Just can't put this thing down though. It's got a Seymour Duncan Jazz pick up in the neck and a Seymour Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge (with coil splits). It also has piezo and synth access.
I'm just curious if anyone else here plays Godins. I searched and there are no threads devoted to them.
Here's a pic.

Here's a song I recorded with only the A11:
Haha... Robert Godin himself pronounces it Goh-Daa... You dont pronounce the "N".Is it Go-dan, or Go-din?
I've only got the one so far, but it's a keeper and I'm on the look out for more.I have six Godin's.
-A6 Ultra Baritone
-LGX SA
-Fifth Avenue King Pin II w/P90's
-A8 Mandolin
-Simon & Patrick Songsmith acoustic 6 String
-Simon & Patrick Songsmith acoustic 12 String
The Simon & Patrick guitars were bought to be campfire guitars when we camp. The tone is absolutely incredible for the price.
Every one of them is undeniably perfect. Out of the 23 guitars i own, the Godins are definitely my go to guitars.
They also make awesome acoustics. They also are the mother company of the brands Seagull and Simon & Patrick.
Godin has got to be one of the most meticulous guitar makers. If there is even the slightest, teeniest little flaw, they will sell it as a factory second. The baritone i bought was a factory second for having the smallest little blemish under the body where you cant even see it (Saved about 15% off price.
