2019 Godin Guitar NEW Models!!!

Good point!!!  GOOD LUCK EVER SEEING ONE OF THEM!!

I still want to see the Rialto "in person" and try it, to see if I can get past the grey color. Some greys look great, and some look "cheap." Like some reds look rich, and some just look cheap. A couple of those electrics are good-looking too, I had no idea Godin made that many electrics (in fact, I had no idea until recently that Godin made electrics at all!)

These acoustics are brand new for the "Godin" brand.  Up until now, they actually only made electrics with the exception of the 5th Ave.  So you were right in a way.   Ya, they've always made acoustics, but under the Seagull, S&P, A&L and Norman "brands" only.

I'm curious as to how these new Godin acoustics are going to do.  I can't even guess cuz the acoustic guitar market is kind of a weird place right now.

I'm personally underwhelmed by the Seagulls. Though I'm sure they are great guitars and will suit a person who likes the more traditional nut width and string spacing. I put up with the bullet headstock becasue of the great neck. But now that the 1.8 is diminishing, I dont think I would consider a Seagull acoustic in the future. I'm sure they will find good homes with others.

The new Godin electrics look great. That green Shifter bass looks awesome. I also like the 5th Avenue with the 2 tv Jones pickups. The sunburst Session too. Actually, all those Godin electrics look super. I remain a Godin fan. I could take a few of those guitars home

I've only seen this in my one store, so this is anecdotal evidence, but if he's any indication, you are more correct than you know.

For years, Seagulls and the other Godin acoustic lines have been his #1 sellers, but for the last year and a half or so, Alvarez has taken the #1 spot away and bumped Godin's lines down to #2.

Entry level and mid tier stuff sell the most, for obvious reasons, and if those sales suffer, then that affects the higher end stuff's sales too.  The decision makers at Godin are making a lot of risky moves lately, I really hope it pans out for them cuz I would hate to see another Canadian company go down, or have to downsize or something.

I haven't heard anything about any changes in the actual "Godin" products though (electrics, basses etc) so I guess no news is good news.  But the acoustics sales are already suffering in one city.
