Godin Guitars

Robert Godin grew up in love with woods and handcraftsmanship. He worked along side a luthier long enough to understand he had found his passion. Robert designed and perfected a style of building that produced a unique sounding guitar, special in many ways. He took extra care in selecting the woods for each part of the guitar and in searching for the right bonding agents and binding materials. The trick, he thought, would be to find a way to make the instrument he had created in larger volume. This process resulted in the Godin Guitar, which is revered around the world for innovative designs and quality of sound.
