Godin Guitars
Godin Guitars builds their six lines of acoustic and electric guitars (Art & Lutherie, La Patrie, Seagull, Simon & Patrick, Norman, Richmond, and Godin) in six different factories in Quebec, Canada and Berlin, New Hampshire. Although this approach may sound costly and inconvenient, it results in each guitar having a level of intimate attention from a luthier unheard of in a less expensive instrument. This approach is extremely rare in the industry for instruments at this price point. We know of no other builder in the world that can make such a quality entry level guitar, and we've been through them all. Whether you think of them as the smallest of the big builders or the biggest of the small builders, they make instruments that hit an unparalleled price to performance formula.
