A used North American made guitar for $500? And it’s good? The Godin G-3000 

Thanks for all the info you added here - it was a big help, as I recently came across a G4000 and had no idea what it is at first. Bought it after all and I'm seriously surprised how good it is! I also did write to Godin for some info (not too much of it on the web!). Attaching all they sent, maybe someone will find it helpful: G series models were in production from 1993 to 1997. They were assembled in the US from parts crafted in Canada. Specs : limewood body ('93 and '94) maple body ('95 to '97) maple neck maple or rosewood fretboard (both were available) Godin machine heads Godin pickups 11" fretboard radius G1000 : 24 3/4" scale, 2 single-coils+1 humbucker, 5 way switch, standard tremolo bridge G2000 : 24 3/4" scale, 2 single-coils+1 humbucker, 5 way switch, tremolo bridge with locking nut G3000 : 24 3/4" scale, 2 single-coils+1 humbucker, 5 way switch, fixed bridge G4000 : 24 3/4" scale, 2 single-coils+1 humbucker, 5 way switch, Schaller tremolo bridge G5000 : 25 1/2" scale, 1 single-coil+1 humbucker, 3 way switch, Floyd Rose tremolo bridge with locking nut Cheers mate, all the best!

I believe Godin also own and manufacture "Art & Lutherie" brand acoustic guitars. I had one of their parlor acoustic guitars with a cedar top, cherry back/sides and maple neck.. It had an interesting sound, good for acoustic bles and slide. Was a good couch guitar.

Hey man, great content! I'd love to watch a video about that Melody Maker 😁

I’ve owned several Godin guitars mostly the A6 acoustic/hybrid. They are excellent instruments.

Great guitars IMO. Always looking for the mighty G5000.

Yeah i like to see reviews on Harley Benton guitars also . I ordered the 450 plus. When it arrived it look like it been on tour. I was disappointed because i paid retail on a B-stock and i was so mad .i sent it back. I also ordered a Epiphone SG muse. It also looked like it been on tour.i got the jambox amplifier guitar stand with accessories all in one big box. The box had a serious hole in it. When i contacted thomanns the rep was nasty as hell asked for photos before he could send the return label. Granted i only had the equipment for less then 23 hours.then when i return it , it took almost a month to get my refund back ! So much for the 30 day return policy . This rep act like i was trying to scam them and put me through hoops . So now i have a bad feeling about thomanns quality control . The music shop in Kiel Germany had the same SG muse but wanted to charge 90 euros more . So now put guitar purchase on hold due to the quality control from Thomann ,Harley Benton , Epiphone and other music shops in Germany. I be curious if you have the same problem with guitar online purchase. I enjoy the content of your channel .

This is a very good guitar. On mine I shifted bridge and neck. A 59 Duncan neck ,in the bridge, and a Lundgreen in neck, middle stock. Putting a neck in bridge, do that, theres no, difference in volume, they are equal. The middle pick up, nothing wrong with that, noiseless and good power. The Lundgreen in the neck, seals the deal, bringing exeptionally clarity to sound, goes from almost accustic to stone cold Strat tones. And not to mention, how easy it is to play, , and string bending, a walk in the park. Did I mention it"s cheap and the great vintage feeling?.

A fellow G series owner! There are dozens of us! I have one with a trem and rosewood board that I have been waiting on doing some work on. I remember loathing the pickups so they may go for something else when I end up restoring it. Great video!

That was m'y first Godin guitar made in Canada since that Time i Buy only Godin guitar but the price is going Up even in Canada ! Robert Godin is the Léo Fender of canada ,and a book about Godin guitar i going to be translate in english!

Id like to watch you Making reviews of Harley benton guitars - strats ,sgs ,les paul ,335 ,355 etc

I've been playing a G1000 I bought second hand on a whim for a decade and still love it. Thinking about a pickup swap finally-did you decide on a swap for yours?

It is basically as good as a Mexican Fender.
