Description
What makes this guitar special? Akin to Godin’s xTSA model without the synth access, the Exit 22-S is a versatile guitar with simple controls and a natural look. Its solid mahogany body features beautiful figuring on all sides and a slightly rounded body shape with a mild armrest contour that makes playing standing or sitting very comfortable. The Godin-designed pickups sound good in every position, from the warm and clean neck, to the pronounced mid-range with a rounder character in the 2nd and 4th positions, to the hotter and brighter bridge. Its slim C neck is very easy to move around, the controls are simple and intuitive, and overall, for a 10+ year old guitar, it is still very clean, making it a well-rounded addition to many rosters.
Condition: This guitar is in very good condition overall. It does show various minor dings, dents, nicks, chips, and light scratches, but is otherwise very clean and still looks, plays, and sounds fantastic. The frets show only light wear and still have a ton of playing time left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod is functioning.
Body: Single cutaway solid mahogany body in Natural Semi-Gloss finish. Fixed bridge with individually adjustable saddles. Black chrome knurled control knobs.
Neck: Slim C shape rock maple neck and 12” radius rosewood fingerboard with white dot inlays. Unoriginal gold Sperzel locking tuning machines. 1 5/8” nut width. 24 ¾” scale.
Electronics: Godin-designed GS-1 single-coil pickups in the neck and middle and GHB1 humbucker in the bridge. 1 x volume, 1 x tone control. 5-way pickup selector.
Weight: 9 lbs 4.9 oz
Playability/Sound: The slim C neck is a breeze to move around and plays equally as well with chords as it does leads. The pickups have a great range that standards with a warm but up front neck, pronounced and rounded mid-range in the 2nd and 4th positions, and a brighter, hotter bridge tone.
Case: Includes original gigbag.
