I own a 90′s Godin Artisan ST hss and a Freeway classic hsh and the Velocity or the Progression is next on my list. Although I’m not totally in love with some of Robert Godin’s asthetic ideas….I simply cannot fault the incredible quality of Godin guitars. I paid 500.00 Can. for my Freeway, and I haven’t been able to part with it ‘cos it just plays and feels so damn good! I have played all kinds of strats, from mim’s to custom shops and they all feel like crap compared to my 500.00 Freeway!
I whole-heartedly recomend these guitars to anyone. These are pro quality at fender mim prices! Spend a few more dollars in upgraded hardware and electronics on these things and yer very easily into custom shop quality level guitar! My 90′s Artisan ST HSS blows away any modern Fender, or post Fender Charvel product clean outta the water…before mods!
Thes axes kick arse!!! sooo solidly built and heavy, they sustain forever, best bang for buck!
I hate that noise Paul makes with his mouth every time before he talks.
Dammit, now that is gonna bug the crap outa me…
They can’t be compared, they’re not even similar in style.
Well you gotta compare and contrast and decide which one you would prefer. The Velocity is a more versatile guitar but the Les Paul is a classic for rock.
They don’t really turn active, that button is just an active EQ/Preamp, which makes it sound similar to how active do.
i looking to buy a guitar at around 800 to 1000 dollars what would any of you recommend.
Very bluesy when dirty. Love it.
And then it gets very Woodstock like towards the end briefly. How much is it?
@dacorner8 depends on what type of music you play, what sounds best to you, and what feels best to you. ibanez is pretty good though. i dont like fender too much, it feels bad to my hands.

Good review.
ok i’m faced with a bit of a delema here: i like this guitar a lot as far as its looks and functionality go, but is it good for metal? Im interested in versatility. does this stock guitar do well for everything, or should i swap pickups or get a pedal to get a more metal sound for when i play slayer and metallica and such?
Which kind of frets?
@manbearpig91 wondering the exact same thing, im a classic player for the most part but i also like doing the occasional metallica gig, hopefully someone has an answer
@manbearpig91 i dont own it but ive played around with it and it can get some pretty good metal tones out of it. and i was just using a little roland combo amp so it should be pretty good if you have even better equipment haha
Ya it’s funny Godin is a Canadian company but assembled at the Washburn factory in the US lol.
Not gonna lie but strat type bodied guitars piss me off so much. I don’t mean to say that there was not a similar design before the Fender Strat but the overused shape makes me not want to buy guitars. Weird, eh, I know.
Its just something that pisses me off big time lol.
Any other copy is ok but I think I’m sick of seeing all of these strat look-a-likes.
@AirHendrix91 I know what you mean, my first guitar was a strat copy and now I can’t stand them
@taylorrichard i love québec city and i miss it there
che frocione
Wow those frets do look really nice built!
They shine!!, I felt in love with that fretboard..
