[@fredericlinden]

A truly admirable man. A visionary like no other in the field. Exemplary Ethic, inspiring passion, search for perfection. Those guitars are made for guitarists...

[@delta85us2000]

What an absolutely fascinating story!!

[@toneranger]

Incredible story, the $6500 tuner just underlines Mr. #Godin's attention to detail and pioneering spirit. A true legend of musical instrument design. I'm a proud owner of many of his brilliant instruments. The Seagull S6 he speaks about is still the best pound for pound acoustic guitar on the market. I own 3 Acousticasters, just amazing guitars

[@theycallmeglen]

Robert’s passion for building guitars is great. I own a Godin and two Seagulls...fantastic sounding, well-built, they rival guitars costing 2-3x as much.

[@furzikurzi6243]

This mixtur of passion enthusiams, genius, and hard work! Thank you Mr. Godin for your enrichment the guitar world!

[@danlalonde2751]

I am a player and collector and have owned many Godin's over the last 20 years. Some new and some used . They have all been flawless . At this time i have five different models.This is a great Canadian guitar company.

I am amazed with Robert Godin, such a nice guy and he knows what he is talking about. I admire such a person his success he deserves

[@andrewgill9489]

Great guitars, wonderful sound and quality. I own five.

[@752brickie]

I did play one or two and they are Great. I really love Robert's passion for the Guitar !

[@willcuevas4789]

Mr. Godin. I’m left handed and bought a used mint condition Multeac SA. I returned a new SA. Called a local store and inquired to find out they had one. Glad I persisted!!!!

[@jacgiustizia]

I have experienced many instruments, godin builds some of the best guitars in the world. If I happen to be in a room with martins, gibsons taylors and simon patrick etc. its always the godins that end up in my hands.

[@752brickie]

It is like the Alvarez' that I have ,I have two Taylors and three Martins and I always go to the Alvarez ! But they like the Godin products are phenomenal !!! Mainly because no one sells the Godin in my area .

[@rosskstar]

Too bad good-hearted CEOs like him are so rare. He'd be a good boss to work for.

[@gregmatchett7110]

They spent $4m on CNC machines 10 yrs ago and rather than lay anyone off, they released three models they sold at a wicked deal to pay for the machines, discontinued them, and kept their employees and hired their families too.

[@rosskstar]

@@gregmatchett7110 Just think if our governments were run with our real welfare in mind like that. Jehovah's Kingdom will do just that. But first we'll have to endure a 'great tribulation' that is about to break out on mankind...start praying to Jehovah and read the bible - build that structure ready to add more later. it's about to get interesting if it already wasn't...

[@MeekDrill]

I'm actually seriously considering working for them ( I live real close the their factories ) seem like my dream job

[@rosskstar]

@@MeekDrill Do it to it, but beware there will be some shattering news soon that will upend all our lives as the King of the South goes off into oblivion and many peoples. Prophecies are a'poppin dooood

[@slooky14]

why does he epoxy the neck? hopefully his guitars won't need a neck reset!

[@gregmatchett7110]

I will play my Godin Metropolis LTD against any pre or post war Martin and slay it.
