I picked up a Godin LGX-SA Trans Blue Flame, with a AA top, over the weekend. The guitar is absolutely beautiful.

I'll have to wait a few days or weeks until the "new-ness" wears off, but right now, this guitar is replacing 3 other guitars that I play. It's really that good.

(Possibly going ) On the block:
Godin Freeway SA
Godin XTSA
PRS SE 245

I can't stop playing this thing. My wife is getting jealous smile

What's the 3-pin connector for?

The 13-pin is for Roland-type boxes, like (in my case) the Roland GR-55. The 2 little toggles control the Roland device. One switches patches on the GR-55, the other 3 position mini-toggle switches between 13-pin output only, acoustic output only, or a mix (middle position).

If you have a mixing board, or a usb interface like a Focusrite, you can plug in all three and control what comes through on the guitar.

It's really an incredible guitar.

Believe it or not, there is actually a downside to buying this guitar. Before buying this guitar, I absolutely LOVED (he word here) my Lynch GL-500K. It was my "go to" guitar for quite a while.

It was in the case since I was selling some other guitars and didn't want my entire stock laying around for all to see. So, I put it in it's case. I took it out over the weekend, and the love I used to feel for it has gone. It seemed almost ordinary now. It is in no way an ordinary guitar. It's an incredible guitar. But the feel of the Godin might have ruined it for me.

I won't sell it, I'm hoping the love comes back around. It's one of 3 Floyd Rose guitars that I have left, but what used to be my #1 fun guitar has now taken a back seat.

Congrats on a lovely guitar! I purchased a Godin Artisan ST Signature a few months ago and fell in love with what Godin puts out. They are incredibly well crafted and sound incredible.

Congrats again!!!
