A Beautiful Guitar with an Amazing Range of Tones

Godin's xtSA solidbody guitar gives you the perfect combination of classic electric guitar design, amazing playing comfort, and fantastic tone range. A pair of custom humbuckers, along with a custom single-coil pickup between them, gives this guitar an incredible range of electric tone to start with. An onboard piezo pickup lets you blend in stunning acoustic-style sounds as well. That's quite a versatile guitar! But believe it or not, the xtSA is only getting started! This beautiful instrument is also equipped with an individual synth pickup for each string; the sonic possibilities are limited only by your imagination!



Godin made the xtSA from the ground up to sound great, and it definitely delivers. This gorgeous guitar has a lightweight silver leaf maple/poplar body with a beautiful flame maple leaftop. The xtSA's mahogany neck is fast and comfortable, and it's topped with an exquisite ebony fingerboard. This guitar isn't just amazingly versatile; it's incredibly classy and fun to play too.

Since the early 1970s, Godin has been crafting pro-quality instruments loaded with innovations. Whether you're a session pro or a recreational player, Godin has a guitar built to suit you perfectly. You'll love the clean lines, the exceptionally comfortable playing feel, and the exquisite tone you get from a Godin guitar.

This is an incredibly versatile, quality instrument.

by David Kiss from Brooklyn, NY
December 24, 2010
Music Background: Pro Musician
I just got this guitar today from Sweetwater, and am blow away by the craftmanship, sounds, options - pretty much everything about this guitar. I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant about purchasing a... read more [+] guitar online without ever playing it, but I own and have owned other Godins before and I know they are quality instruments. Every Godin I've ever played had a great neck, which was my main concern. The neck on this beaut feels like butter in my hand. The finish is beautiful, yet understated and not too flashy. The pickups sound excellent, I had planned on replacing at least one humbucker but now I think I'm gonna stick with these. I can make this guitar sound like my SG, or get that Fender twang, really perfect for every situation.
And then of course, there's the piezo pickup; again, the sound is STELLAR! Just shocking how good the acoustic sounds coming out of this thing are.
Last but not least, there's the synth output, which I immediately hooked up to my Juno 106, blending a warm string-esque synth sound with the electric pickups and just a slight hint of the piezo-everyone in the room was blow away by that, it sounded like there were two guitarists and a synth player in the room.
This guitar has immediately become my main axe, everything about it is just perfect, you can tell a lot of thought went into the design and "amenities", from the schaller strap-locks to the locking tuners-this is an amazing instrument especially given the great price.

The guitar is well made and the sound and playing are great, but there are no instructions for all the knobs and switches.
