Godin SD 22 Electric Guitar (Black Pearl RN) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been through a few guitars after I got back into playing several years ago. I got a Gibson Les Paul in a trade for an 74 MG Midget I had. I really liked it and actually bought another Gibson type guitar, an EPIPHONE Riveria P93, the head angles are the same. I saw the Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scotts and the Fender Strat he was playing. I had to try one so I got a Squire Affinity and really enjoyed the easy bending of notes. I was going to get a Fender Strat but saw an AD for Godin Guitars in PG Mag and read alot about them. I found this Godin SD22 on Amazon and the price was incredible, I bought it and have played nothing but it since. I want to get a GODIN Xtsa actually and spend a few more dollars. So that is my next purchase but for now I will be lovin thsi SD22.

Product Description:

The SD 22 combines the easy feel of a short scale with the added snap of a rock maple neck. The short scale reduces string tension, which provides easy string bending and augments the low frequency response. The compact feel of the neck and the diagonal radius carved into the body produces exceptional balance and comfort. In short, this guitar is fun to play, and lends itself to classic rock and R&B sounds.

Maple and Poplar Body

The SD 22 is constructed with a blend of two tonewoods. A center of silver leaf maple serves as an anchor for the neck and is flanked by poplar sidepieces, resulting in Godin's stated goal of making electrics that begin with a great acoustic sound. Solid body instruments may not produce much in the way of volume, but make no mistake, wood weight and density, type (and quality) of the neck/body attachment, type of bridge and nut material all have an impact on that final sound.

One Godin GHB1 humbucker and two Godin GS1 single-coil pickups, along with a five-way switch for serious tonal options.
