In my 40+ years playing and owning guitars (and I've been through a lot) my new Godin XTSA is without a doubt the best and most versatile guitar I've ever had the pleasure of owning/playing. The workmanship is second to none, the balance is perfect, straight out of the box an absolute delight to play. The Richlite neck is new to me and I was a little concerned ordering the guitar as I had never played on one before but I'm absolutely delighted with it & extremely impressed with how easy it is to play. The tremolo system along with the locking tuners keep the strings perfectly in tune even with the most rigorous use. The pickup system coupled with the Roland GR-55 which I also purchased is a technological dream come true for me. 30 years ago I owned a Boss SE50 effects unit and loved that but now I have reached Technological Nirvana when it comes to the perfection of sound and endless variety of models/effects/instruments/combinations. As far as I'm concerned I've reached the pinnacle of what I need for the rest of my life.
I can't speak highly enough of the Godin XTSA on it own, a beautifully crafted, stunning looking, wonderful guitar to play and especially for the price! 5 stars across the board!
