Description
What makes this guitar special? As one of the most underrated manufacturers in terms of electric guitars, Godin has really built a fantastic guitar in the Freeway Classic. Built with a combination of silver-leaf maple, rock maple, and poplar, this guitar has a nice bright tone with great sustain. The pickups provide a good range of tones, even with the simple 1x1 volume and tone controls. The top is beautifully figured flame maple, which aptly represents the vibrant sound it produces. All around, this is an excellent sound and playing guitar with an appealing look to boot.
Condition: Overall, this Freeway Classic is in excellent condition. Outside of light surface scratches throughout the body and a ding or two, this guitar is very clean. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should. The frets only show light wear and still have quite a bit of life left in them.
Body: Double-cutaway contoured body composed of a silver-leaf maple center with poplar wings and a flame maple cap. Tremolo bridge.
Neck: Rock maple bolt-on neck with slim-medium profile. Maple fretboard with offset dot fret markers. Godin enclosed tuning machines with satin finish buttons. Black string trees.
Electronics: Godin GHB1 pickups in the neck and bridge, GS1 in the middle position. 5-way pickup selector, 1 volume, 1 tone control.
Weight: 7 lbs 9.9 oz
Playability/Sound: Even with only a 5-way switch, volume, and tone control, this is a wonderfully versatile guitar. The pickups provide a good range of tones, all of which sound fantastic. The slim-medium neck is easy to play for a variety of styles and will feel familiar to players of modern guitars.
Case: Hardshell case included.
