We are proud to represent the Godin line of guitars.

Robert Godin started building guitars over twenty years ago in a village in Quebec, Canada, called La Patrie. He still owns the company today and continues to design the vast majority of these fine guitars himself.

Now headquartered in Montreal, Godin builds guitars in four additional locations: three in the province of Quebec and one in New Hampshire. For those of you keeping score, that adds up to six factories spread out over about 1000 kilometers. So why not just have one giant guitar factory?

Although there are some obvious inconveniences associated with spreading the factories out this much, the up-side is that these smaller operations promote a more intimate working environment that gets everybody more involved.

This personal attention from dedicated craftsmen is reflected in the quality of each instrument the company makes.
