This is a killer playing and sounding Godin SD made in North America, Canada although sometimes they make parts in USA. This one sounds and plays great, very well made instruments cheap. This one had a pro setup and new strings recently so ready for stage or studio. If you are into cosmetics, this isnt for you, for some reason it has repaired cracks in the body and part of the headstock by the tuners (not standard headstock repair) It is solid and has no issues in functionality. See pictures This has a beefy thick humbucker sound, but also the nice sparkling strat tones. Very versatile .
