Godin Richmond Dorchester

Got to play one of these today and absolutely loved it.
And it looks so sexy. The binding on the back was really cool looking.
I didn't get the chance to plug it in sadly but it felt and played so nice.
It sounds so nice in the video on their webpage though:

One problem I noticed was a bit of a buzz on the low E.

Can probably be solved with a good set up.

Yeah, I've coveted one of these Richmonds for a while.

Those are beautiful... never tried one.
Are they chambering like a Les Paul Double Cutaway?

I wish they would come in different colors... like cherry or seafoam green.

Yeah, they're chambered.

Yes, I agree, not much color variation. The ones with the Bigsby are kinda bland looking colorwise. The ones with out the Bigsby are a little more colorful:

Maybe you can convince them to do a little custom work as far as color and features go.

I actually really like the cream and natural but I wish there was one in seafoam or sherwood green

I might if I can sell a few things first.
The one I was playing was going for $949 (CAD) + tax, which would be quite a bit more affordable if I hadn't just ordered a Drone Commander.
Oh and that whole broke university student thing :idk:
But yeah if I can sell my Epi Les Paul and fretless bass I might go for it

The black one look nice... but no Bigsby.
I like the tone of chambered guitar... I tried a Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway and a Guild Bluesbird a wile ago (they where nice).

I kind of like the blonde, but the rest leave me underwhelmed in the color spectrum.
Sounds cool though. Leaves me confused about why I am attracted to the shape but fuck it I like it.

And there shouldn't be an option for a hardtail on any guitar. Everything needs a bigsby.

Those Godin guys really know what they're doing. I've heard nothing but good things about all the stuff they've been doing lately.
