Combines electric guitar sounds, acoustic guitar sounds, and fast guitar synth tracking.
The Godin LGXT AA Flamed Maple Top Electric Guitar has a combination of fast synth tracking and a tremolo system that makes for incredible sonic power and delivers it in a very user-friendly, eye-pleasing package. Exquisitely playable with surprising resonance and a vibrant natural tone, the Godin LGXT pairs an ergocut mahogany neck with a sleek and smooth ebony fingerboard and a silverleaf maple body topped by AA-grade figured maple. The LGXT guitar has dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers-a Jazz II in the neck position and a Duncan-modified Custom Custom pickup in the bridge position - a Godin exclusive. The custom RMC X-Bridge fires the piezo transducer output and the excellent synth-tracking system.

I primarily bought my LGXT for the improved synth tracking of the piezo bridge, with no real thoughts of playing it outside my synth rig. Most of my other guitars are Strats, including a Roland-Ready. I also considered the Godin xtSA, thinking I might miss the 3-pickup configuration. But I was pleasantly surprised with the LGXT. Yes, the piezo bridge does improve synth tracking, but this is a great guitar even with the synth turned off. Mixing the piezo output with the neck pickup provides GIGANTIC Strat-like Stevie-Ray-Vaughn-"Lennie"-punch-you-in-the-nose tone. Powerful AND Clean. Amazing. The neck plays great, the finish is beautiful… heck, I was even impressed with how bright the Godin strings sounded! I may sell one of my Strats and buy another LGXT. Seriously, it’s that good. My only comment is that the locking tuners feel a little lightweight; I'll change mine, but Godin should consider switching to heavier Schaller or Sperzel tuners, if only for the sake of perception.

The flexibility of this guitar is fantastic! Coupled with my Roland VGA-7 amp, puts the use of this guitar way over the top. When all 3 jacks are used - acoustic/13 pin synth/electric, the sky is the limit. VERY IMPRESSIVE! Electric is electric, acoustic is acoustic, and at the flip of a switch you can go just about anywhere with this piece. The sound is clean, sustain is good, the action is easy. I can't tell you how much I enjoy playing this guitar. I have nothing but good things to say about this guitar and its many uses. Okay, the only thing I "might" want to complain about is the weight. I don't think you could go wrong with this choice in guitars...
Enjoy!

Most Versatile Guitar

This is one of the best guitars I have ever played. The magnetic pickups are hot the maple body makes it bright and lively. The five position switch includes coil tapped options, giving a huge range of sounds. The piezo pick up is the best I've ever heard on a solid body, and the MIDI tracking is phenomenal. There's practically no delay, and very few unwanted noises. But the best thing about it is the neck: without doubt THE BEST, most comfortable, fastest neck I have ever played. In fact the whole instrument just oozes quality. If you play live, and need to switch between acoustic and electric guitars, this is the axe for you. While the synth capability probably won't have you firing your keyboard player, it will let you mix a sax sound into your songs, or riff your jazz solo with a glockenspiel, for example (if you have a guitar synth to connect it to, of course). This really is a great guitar that will open up so many new avenues!

I bought the Godin LGX-SA, which is the same thing as this guitar, but without the tremolo. Mine also has AAA quilted maple, but that does not affect sound quality. This guitar kills my old Fender Strat in playablily and sound, and I don't feel a need to play my Taylor any more either with the Godin's acoustic synth. Yes, it does sound like an actual acoustic guitar. I love being able to switch from electric to acoustic with the flick of a swicth. This guitar is just as playable as a friend's custom $3,500 US Master's strat. My only disapoinment is that very high frequency distortion on the bridge pickup does not register quite right, but that could be my amp. Overall, this guitar is godly (hey, God is in the name of the guitar). I do not even see a reason to get another electric guitar (unless it is a custom US Masters strat).
