Godin Freeway Classic

Make Mine a Double

The Freeway Classic is the first double cutaway design by Godin in several years. In spite of the tremendous success of the single cutaway design featured throughout the Godin line, there has always been a contingent of hard-core, double-cutaway enthusiasts encouraging Godin to do something for them. With that in mind, Godin went to work on the Freeway Classic. The basic formula is classic Godin: versatile, blues/rock gigging machine with "boutique guitar" build-quality at a blue-collar price.

Maple/Poplar Body

The Freeway's body consists of a center block of silver-leaf maple with light poplar wings. Silver-leaf maple is an excellent tone wood with a weight and density similar to mahogany. The warm tone of the silver-leaf provides a perfect compliment to the rock maple neck. To ensure you get the most from this potent combination, each neck and body are joined with a perfect wood-to-wood connection--free of paint or glue--that delivers maximum neck/body energy transfer. The sound of the silver-leaf maple comes at a price--it's heavy! To balance the guitar and achieve a comfortable weight the silver leaf core is flanked with light poplar wings. This ultimately produces a comfortably light guitar with "heavy guitar" resonance.

Rock Maple Neck

Godin's rock maple necks are known throughout the guitar industry for outstanding feel and boundless sustain. The 25-1/2" scale neck on the Freeway features Godin's ergo-cut shape and medium jumbo frets. Neck stability is insured by a double-action truss system capable of adding and removing relief in the neck.

Godin-Designed Pickups

The Godin humbucker-single-humbucker pickup configuration makes the most of excellent acoustic response of the Freeway. A double 5-way switch along with volume and tone controls supports the pickups, so you can dial in any number of tones you're after.

Godin SD 22 Electric Guitar (Amber Flame Leaftop RN)

Godin SD 22 Electric Guitar (Amber Flame Leaftop RN) Review



Godin SD 22 Electric Guitar (Amber Flame Leaftop RN) Feature

  • Bolt-on rock maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays
  • Two Godin GS1 single-coils and GHB1 humbucker with five-way switch, tone, and volume
  • Adjustable tremolo bridge and Graphteq Tusq nut
  • Godin high-ratio sealed tuners
  • Body constructed of silver leaf maple anchor and poplar sidepieces with flame maple top

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.

Godin SD 22

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.

Godin SD 22 Pickups
One Godin GHB1 humbucker and two Godin GS1 single-coil pickups, along with a five-way switch for serious tonal options.
Godin SD 22 Headstock

Rock Maple Neck With Rosewood Fingerboard

There are many grades of maple available out there. "Rock maple" is the term often used to describe a particularly hard variety of the wood that grows in colder climates. Rock maple necks produce excellent sustain, stability and feel, and pair up equally well with Rosewood and Maple fingerboards.

The SD 22's rosewood fingerboard further emphasizes the neck's mid-range, producing a more aggressive sound. The "22" stands for 22 frets, of course. The fingerboard features classic dot inlays.

Neck Fit/Pitch

The angle of the neck attachment--called pitch--has a huge impact on sound. A slight tilt forward will cause the guitar to sound boomy, a slight tilt backwards can make the guitar sound tinny. Equally important is the fit of the neck into the body. Godin guitars are renowned for tight-fitting neck attachments that support excellent neck/body energy transfer and precise neck pitch.

Godin Ergocut

Every Godin neck features an Ergocut shaping technique which bevels the edges of the fingerboard and frets back in towards the center of the fingerboard, providing an extremely comfortable worn-in feel.

Godin Pickups

The SD is loaded with one Godin GHB1 Humbucker and two Godin GS1 Single coil pickups, along with a five-way switch for maximum sonic power. The pickups share a volume and tone control.

Godin pickups are designed to be dynamic, responsive and transparent. Whether you play lightning fast country licks or big fat power chords, you'll appreciate the versatility of these pickups.

Graph Tech "Tusq" Nut

The precision Tusq nut is made with Graph Tech's "man made ivory," which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and is impregnated with Teflon to improve the tuning performance of your guitar. Play as hard as you want, bend a few steps, and your strings glide back into tune. The highly resonant material also means you'll get crystal-clear, bell-like high end, big open lows, and an overall sustain increase.
