Godin Empire HG Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:- This guitar has a lot of bark and bite
- Maple and poplar combine for bright, spanky tones
- Ergocut shaping technique for amazingly smooth performance
With a low-noise single-coil pickup at the neck, plus a custom humbucker at the bridge, you'll appreciate the wide range of tones on tap in the Godin Empire HG. It's great for crunchy classic rock, but you can really dig into the humbucker for some seriously aggressive sounds. But it seems that no matter how you dial in the Empire HG, the sound is punchy and vibrant.
Maple and poplar combine for bright, spanky tonesMade in Canada, the Empire HG employs a Big Leaf maple center block with poplar wings. Not only does this combination enhance the bright, articulate nature of the Empire HG's design, it's also lightweight enough for hours of comfortable playing.
Ergocut shaping technique for amazingly smooth performanceRun your hand along the Empire HG's neck, and you'll be amazed at how smooth and fast it feels. That's because Godin's Ergocut shaping technique bevels the fret edges towards the center of the fretboard. Whether you're playing complex chord changes, or blazing your way across multiple octaves, the Ergocut process enhances the playability of the Empire HG far beyond what you'd expect at this price.
