What is HDR?

A Godin guitar that is equipped with the High-Definition Revoicer (H.D.R.) system is like having 2 sets of pickups in 1 Godin guitar. The H.D.R. augments and revoices the frequencies of each pickup with a zero-hum, noiseless high-definition sound, which gives players that extra bite along with a dynamic response that accentuates the natural nuances of the instrument. It is revoiced with an active preamp, which enables you to essentially go from passive to active pickups by the simple push of a button, located between the tone and volume knobs on select Godin electric models. This “true bypass” system maintains the voicing integrity of the passive pickups, while allowing them to become active without affecting tonal quality.

What is Ergocut?

Our Ergocut shaping technique consists in beveling the edges of the neck and frets back in towards the center of the fretboard, providing an extremely comfortable “worn-in” feel. *Note: Ergocut does not apply to necks with plastic binding.

How can I find a Godin dealer in my area?

Please visit our online dealer listing. Although we cannot guarantee that all dealers carry every product we make, the ones listed are authorized Godin dealers and have access to our complete line.

Why do some models get discontinued from time to time?

We constantly work on improving, updating, and innovating our products. Like other consumer-driven industries, we introduce new models each year and that means that some previous models may get replaced.

Where can I take my instrument or amp to be serviced?

The first contact should be made with the original point of sale or the dealer where you purchased your instrument. If the guitar needs to come back to us, they will help you get RA # (Return Authorization number) from our Customer Support Team. If you prefer to have your instrument serviced locally, please feel free to contact our Customer Support at service@godinguitars.com in order to obtain information on the closest authorized repair center.

How do I become an authorized dealer?

Please email us at info@godinguitars.com and indicate your state or province, and we will forward your contact info to the appropriate sales representative.
