Godin's LGXT certainly has some people voting in its favor, and some against, but overall, LGXT deserves your attention. Every player emphasizes different things about its features, so the opinions are divided. The best advice is to check out the guitar features yourself, and try to see if LGXT is the right one for you.

Carefully chosen set of features makes Godin's LGXT a really good guitar. Some might say that it lacks some of the features, but LGXT's features still fulfill an average musician's needs. You won't be wrong to go for this axe 'cause it has a wide array of different sounds and a lot of possibilities for tweaking the sound to make it yours. Getting one of Godin's LGXT is a way to go.

Godin's LGXT is a guitar that will amaze you with its clean sound and defined tone. Plug it into a decent amp and you will sound great out of the box. Tweak the tone a bit more and you'll be having fun in no time, playing full of inspiration with such a great tone. LGXT handles well with many kinds of different music genres, and is easy to get used to.

A bit more care and time would make this instrument a class better, but Godin's LGXT doesn't look bad, nor does play badly. It stays in tune reasonably well, and can provide a not-too-demanding musician some good experience. Was it the price, or some other factor, but it feels that the hardware could have been done better; nevertheless, LGXT is after all a good guitar which is not too hard to handle and set up.

This guitar will hold on really well as it is built well. Not to be battered as it is not the ultimate gigging tool; still, LGXT will perform OK in most live situations. You might feel that it will let you down in you hour of need, but in reality this guitar will do just well. Should you feel unconfident, have a backup guitar ready and you'll have no worries with Godin's LGXT.
