Key Features
Product Ref: 108023
The Godin Summit Classic SG features a classic single cutaway set-neck body design whose outline has helped define the rock and pop genre over the past half century. This simple guitar design has a fixed bridge and a single P90 which gives a resonant tone and great tuning stability, perfect for busy gigging musicians who value tone, playability, and good looks.
The Summit Classic features a Canadian Laurentian basswood body which is a lightweight and tonally versatile tonewood. It has a well-balanced frequency output that adapts to many styles of playing and musical genres. Its light weight makes it comfortable to use over long periods, while the set-neck design enhances the sustain and resonance.
The neck is crafted from maple for a smooth feel and to provide bright overtones, while the rosewood fingerboard has great low-end articulation for a snappy response.The Summit Classic has a single P90 pickup in the bridge position. The P90 pickup is seen as a 'half way' between the single coil and the humbucker; it has the 'bite' and 'growl' of a humbucker when pushed into overdrive yet can provide the nuance and clarity of a single coil.
The single pickup can either allow you to turn everything up to 10 and play flat-out, like many punks and rockers have done over the decades. Or, the single pickup can be shaped with the volume and tone controls to provide a surprisingly versatile set of sounds. Many blues players have found that a single pickup guitar forces them to interact with the controls more to generate their sounds. With a limited range of options, the player can become more creative with their controls and will start to find their favourite 'go-to' positions, making it a far more engaging experience than simply flicking a pickup selector switch.
The rosewood fingerboard has a ergocut design which makes it even smoother for a comfortable playing feel. The guitar's single cutaway provides enhanced access to the upper-frets and is ideal for soloing. The basswood body is light for a comfortable playing feel during long gigs/practice sessions.
Fixed bridge guitars are inherently more stable and resonant. The Summit Classic SG's wrap-around bridge has no moving parts so makes a stable platform for reliable tuning, along with providing enhanced sustain. The nickel machine heads make for easy tuning adjustments, and the stable set-neck design will give you a reliable performance night after night, without having to constantly worry about going out of tune. These styles of guitar are easy to setup and will provide a hassle-free performance for a busy life of gigging and practicing.
