| This has been a truly great guitar that I have owned for a little more than ten years. It still plays great!!! There is natural wear and tear for a guitar this age. Note that there is no strap bolt on the side (botched pickup installation by a local luthier). The autograph is entirely genuine! in 1998 I had the pleasure of attending a seminar in Salt Lake City where Mr. Godin (founder and creator of Seagull guitars) was introducing his new Multiac series with synthesizer capabilities. He was accompanied by renowned guitarist, Sylvain Luc. After the seminar I had a chance to talk with him a bit and asked him to sign my guitar. (Sorry for the blurriness of the autograph picture). I have absolutely loved this guitar. It has been a great source of peace and comfort. I'm needing to sell her because I'm starting a family and my massive Economic Stimulus check didn't quite cut it this year. Hardshell Case is included with purchase! Even if you don't play, this is a fabulous collectors item!!!! Robert Godin's HistoryGodin started building Robert Godin's guitars in 1982 in La Patrie, Quebec.

Aside from their technical innovations, Godinhas a strong reputation among guitarists for their product quality.Most Godin guitars have the same distinctive, yet traditional, bodyshape, which has been described as a hybrid of the Gibson Les Paul andFender Telecaster bodies.
