Found this cool little vid of the new LTD7 hard tail. Sorry if it is a repost.

Well I'll be damned... Did NOT see that coming!

Yeah, if I thought Godin were going to be popular someday I would buy one, because they are going to be RARE! I mean, what kinda Godin player will want one of those?

 

[DeathCubeK]

I literally haven't seen anything other than Ibanez from Winter Namm. Is it me or is coverage really really slow this year?

Godin NAMM tour.

Look at 2:09, a Godin explorer type guitar! What in the world!

Damn, looks like two very nice additions to the Redline series for this year.

The other day i met Ned Setinberger in my store (a bit far from USA ) and he told me that he is introducing a 6 strings prototype guitar with his company NS Design, obviously i ask him about 7 strings guitars and he told me that is quite complicated in this moment but he knows that there's the market is waiting for them.

BTW awesome guy, very honest and open, was i nice surprise to met him.

Only post in the thread I care about.

Well... Me

Godin are seriously great guitars. Their quality/price ratio is completely out of this world.

I found out that the Godin explorer thing is called the Godin Nemesis. Cool name!

It will list for $1195 and it will only come in black. It is not available yet. I don't have any other specs, like pickups (I assume EMG 81 and 85), body wood, or scale length.

Godin has done some of the more interesting designs I've seen. Highly underappreciated builder, IMO. Of course, I've never owned a Godin, and played less than a half-dozen of them, but the few I did play were very interesting and very well-built.

Any other better pics of it yet?

I might be in love with that Jackson 7 string V

And the head stock on Chris Broddricks' 7 string is sweet as well. (sounds dirty)

 

[UltimaWeapon]

Any info or where can we buy some new RC8s? I found some new stuff on gearhounds.com but there arent any RCs yet. And what about ibanezes? the RG350PM looks killer... like JEM 505 i want that so much... any dealer list?

 

[Triple-J]

I think I've seen NAMM info from every guitar company except for Washburn were they even there this year?

 

[MTech]

They are always there since it's Randall/Washburn/Parker all as one. I didn't really pay much attention to them though not a fan at all.

 

[jl-austin]

I've missed Jackson and Charvel "line-ups". I have seen a few Jacksons, but not the line (if it has changed at all), and I haven't heard a word about Charvel.

Washburn is slowly fizzling out it seems, especially with Parker making stuff like the Dragon Fly.

Jackson never really brings out their line the way ESP or Ibanez does. They tend to just bring a ton of CS stuff and exhibition pieces with a few USA and MIJ models. They rather show off their Custom Shop muscle then compete for the budget market at NAMM.

A mass market RC8 would be great, but I'm not sure many people would have a budget for them. I do really like the idea of the RC8, but the weird graphics and limited quantities could be a problem.

I guess some manufacturers make something highly functional, slap an ugly finish/graphic/inlay on it, then assume that the specs were no good when no one orders one.

There's supposed to be an import model 8 string according to info from my friend who takes lessons from Rusty. Same specs just with no finish... or something along those lines. No fanned frets though.

 

[UltimaWeapon]

Yeah the graphic on the RC8 is cheap like hell... its reused from the rc7 and overlayed with red color But i hope the import version wont be a fail like the rc7xs. With tiny frets and cheap build quality...
