Godin Summit Classic HT Electric Guitar - Havana Brown Reviews
Godin’s Summit Classic HT is a decidedly modern, high-performance spin on a single-cut classic. We love set-neck single-cut style guitars here at Sweetwater, though they can run a bit on the heavy side — however, Godin utilizes a chambered Canadian laurentian basswood body that keeps the Summit Classic HT’s weight slim and comfortable. The top is a stunning carved maple that imparts a bold and bright snap to the Summit Classic HT’s rich tone. A sturdy silver-leaf maple neck is topped with a classic rosewood fingerboard in a highly playable 12-inch radius. Looking for tonal versatility? The Summit Classic HT’s custom Godin neck humbucker and bridge Zebra humbucker will dish out tones ranging from pristine cleans to all-out rock — and it’s all taken up a notch by engaging Godin’s HDR system that allows you to switch between active and passive pickup tones.

Great single-cut alternative
Great, well-crafted guitar. I've owned four Les Pauls (still have two) and the Summit Classic HT is much more than a LP copy. The weight is about the same as a LP Junior, but it still has a maple cap. The neck is not too thick and not too thin, and the guitar balances well sitting or standing. It feels great to play, but not like a LP (a little quicker and more resonant, too me). Electronics and hardware are right up there with any professional-level guitar. The semi-gloss finish is a matter of taste, but the Godin's finish has held up slightly better than the Gibson semi-gloss on my SG Junior. I've had two Godins (this one and a Session RT) and just based on those two instruments, Godin craftsmanship and quality control seem really good.
A monster
I bought my summit used and one thing I can say is WOW this thing is light and the pickups breathe fire. The Godin HDR certainly makes these pickups have the active sound/boost. The pots are also as smooth as glass. Overall the fit and finish are excellent as expected from Godin.
