Switch between active and passive pickups with the push of a button.

The Godin Velocity electric guitar features a double-horned body, comprised of a silver leaf maple center with poplar wings and a gorgeous natural, solid, high-flamed maple top, unique to each guitar. The Velocity is the first Godin electric guitar to feature the Godin High-Definition Revoicer. The H.D.R. revoices and augments the frequency range of each pickup and allows you to go from passive to active pickups with the simple push of a button. The H.D.R. gives guitarists the best of both worlds. The Velocity's growl is powered by 2 Godin GS-1 single-coil pickups as well as the beefy tone and high output of the SH-5 Duncan Custom humbucker by Seymour Duncan for serious crunch and an aggressive bite.

Godin's Ergocut shaping gives the rock maple neck an extremely comfortable worn-in feel for effortless playability and lightning speed!

Other features include a vintage tremolo bridge, maple or rosewood fingerboard, 5-way switch, and a stunning high-gloss finish.

Oh jeez

Posted by buy this guitar from don't worry about it on Nov 14, 2008

Experience w/product: I have used it

Reviewer's Background: Active musician

Reviewer's Play Style: Mostly metal

This guitar will blow you away. I'll start from the top and work down. The tuning pegs are able to get it perfectly in tune easily and are not obnoxious looking. The neck is very fast and feels like it is part of your hand. The body is surprisingly light; about two pounds. it vibrates and resonates forever. The single-coil pickups get a little feedback but not very much. They make up for it by sounding sweet. There are three of them so you have options on which to use. The bridge allows for incredible sustain; also there is space for a whammy bar. Overall great guitar.

The Velocity is Godins Greatest Accomplishment

Godin really out did themselves on this model. It has an unfinished neck so everytime you play it, it keeps getting better and better. This guitar absolutely shreds. You can play so fast and their isn't a trace of the muddy sound. And that's just having the guitar set on passive. This guitar has an amazing range of sounds. It mimicks every famous guitar sound perfectly. Les Paul Strat Tele Jazz. It's a total steal for the price.

Smells Nice ... Plays Nice!

This is a SOLID guitar. The neck is thin, but not too thin, and smooth (but not too smooth). It is very well built.

I also own an Ibanez RG 320 FM and this is more versatile, and just FEELS better, and holds is tuning well. You can play for hours and bend like mad without the velocity going out of tune.
