Godin started building guitars over twenty years ago in a village in Quebec Canada called La Patrie. The man that started it all is Robert Godin; Robert still owns the company and he continues to design the vast majority of the guitars.

Godin is a Canadian company with head offices located in Montreal, and they build their guitars in several different locations, five in 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 ourselves out this much, the up-side is that these smaller operations promote a more intimate working environment which gets everybody more involved and this is reflected in the instruments themselves.

We are excited to offer you the chance to come in and see for yourself...the proof is in the playing.
