Winner of Guitar Player Magazine Editor's Pick!

The Godin Redline 1 Electric Guitar features the wonderfully simple yet effective combination of 1 pickup and 1 volume knob. The guitar's searing and ferocious tone is delivered via its sustain inducing, string-through, silver leaf maple body with poplar wings and an active EMG-81 humbucker in the bridge position. Any pent-up aggression can be unleashed on the faster Redline 1 rock maple neck with ergocut rosewood fingerboard and 24 super jumbo frets. It has a sleek Redline 3 & 3 headstock, thick black binding, and the stunning high gloss flame tops on color models.

A good start.

Posted by Raj from real rathole, nm on Sep 22, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Musician

Reviewer's Play Style: Hardcore punk, industrial

Upside: The wood is GOOD!!! very well built, very precise fit and finish, fast neck (even with rosewood) and BEAUTIFUL simplicity.

Not-so Upside: The strings are garbage!!! But that's an easy fix.

Downside: That soul-less, lifeless, TONELESS waste of a 9V battery known as EMG. This will soon be sent off to some nu-metal teenage twit and replaced with something more fitting of such a nicely built axe. C'mon Godin, give this thing a DiMarzio or even a Carvin M22SD.

Suggestion: A guitar this cool NEEDS a trem. None of that Floyd Rose garbage, either. Slap a Kahler on this thing as I will soon do.

Overall: A good piece which lends itself to mods. Would have reated it much higher if it had a better p'up and a kahler.

i've had this guitar for over a year with no complaints, i tune mine to drop C with either ernie ball beefy slinkys or not even slinkys, i like the not even slinkys better, i'm in a deathcore style band and i need my strings tight to sound tight, not complaints, i've played many other guitars in this price range and i always come back to it, only thing that would be any better is the redline 2 ONLY cause of the neck pickup, but i'm not our lead player anyway

I own the Red line 1 and it rocks...The actions is incredible with the jumbo frets and the single EMG-81 pick up. This is straight out balls to the wall sound with a single volume knob... Mine is a slightly older model and it's in a grey Matt finish string through body. I highly recommend this guitar if your into playing lead solos.

The neck is a little chunky but not as thick as my Les Paul...Not as thin as my Kramer striker.

It's a must have for a collection, you won't be disappointed.
