Concert Hall 12 string?

Yes, that's a CH and yes they are coming out with that 12 string.  Saw it on one of their NAMM vids.

I think the main problem with Godin's CH guitars comes down to how they build all their guitars in the first place.  They make "tight" guitars.  Their guitars tend to be very solid built with no "true" scalloped bracing.  You can get away with that with dreads and even a bit with Folks, and cedar is more forgiving of tight builds for all their solid cedar top guitars.  But, when it comes to spruce and an even shallower body shape as in the CH, that tight build starts to really show itself.

Still, for the price, it's hard to beat most acoustics from Godin considering they are made in north america.  The only guitars that can compete with them are ones made in China.

Ya, Godin's cedar top guitars are their best creations if you ask me.  Whether in a dread or folk.  Don't know if they brace them a bit differently or not.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from everything I've read and researched, it seems that Godin is/was the first guitar company to really embrace solid cedar tops as a mainstream offering in the acoustic lines.  The Seagull S6 is still their flagship guitar.

Funny how they do cedar so darn well, but don't adapt to "loosen up" or open up the spruce builds.

My theory is they're thinking of their market.  They build affordable guitars and maybe their thinking is that people who buy affordable guitars might not think to take care of them in the same painstaking ways that people who buy expensive guitars do.  Therefore, they overbuild them to be able to endure.  Just a theory, but it kinda makes sense to me.

I'd put a saddle and a set of strings on it and put it up on Craigs list or Kijiji.  There are tons of hipsters and millennials that like buying stuff that either looks old or is old and beaten up cuz they don't have the patience to do it themselves.  LOL.  P.T. Barnum says there's a customer just waiting for ya! 

Occasionally when I sell a guitar, my impression of it changes when I hear it from a listeners, not players perspective. I had a beater laminate top S&P Folk this summer that played well. A young guy who was a great player picked it up to take to outdoor concert camping with. It sounded real good to my old ears. Possibly he was just a better player than me as well
