Why people pronounce Godin As Go-Dahn or gote-dawn? Dude it's Go-Din????????♂️
Mine is an excellent versatile guitar.
Thanks for the video. How loud is it when not amp'd?
Im getting back into playing after a 40-year hiadous.would this be a good guitar to ease back into playing? I don't want to drop a ton $$$. I sucked 40 years ago so im that much worse today.????
My nephew Jake bought one of the Korean hybrid models for my younger brother Ray (“Mac”) and he loves it. Mac has an unbelievable collection of top shelf Fender, Gibsons and Ibanez but when he broke out his Michael Kelly and let me try it I was so impressed with it I was speechless. This guitar made me play and sound like I knew what I was doing with a guitar almost a real musician. Mac was even surprised. So much so that he searched out another Korean hybrid and purchased it FOR ME. I also own several nice instruments but this Michael Kelly is the one I go to first. Mac and I both shaved the bridge to lower the action a bit but that’s the beginning for me. I mounted a Roland GR-3 to go along with my GR-55 synth. I have it all now. Our matching guitars are so similar side by side the only real differences are the external piezo and Mac’s headstock reads Michael Kell, no “Y”. LoL factory foul up. At jam practice this last weekend the “lead” guitarist had Mac turn his Kell down. It cut through the mix so well everyone thought he had cranked up his volume when Al he had done was swap out instruments. We love these guitars so much I’m in search for one for Jake who is a died in the wool headstock sticker man. I cannot say enough good about this model. Thanks, Pops Fitch
On the spalted maple: I believe its authentic. I have one, yet no one of those guitars are identical. I believe if it was printed, you would lose any 'unique' identity
I like this guitar. I might have to get one.
I have one of these thats was made in South Korea im nor sure what the difference is but mine has the screw down battery cover and both the pickups are indeed wood not plastic.
Kemper for showing the tones of a guitar? Odd choice.
How's the intonation?
Hope nothing goes wrong i got a 53 quad mod tele .been tring to get hold of m.k for a month it has issues
seems like it isn't printed…. so many diff patterns on diff guitars.
Too many sound options. It distracts you from actually playing the thing. And when you have found your voice, what are you going to do with the rest?
Este instrumento tem importadora para o Brasil?
I'm looking to buy one of these i was looking for a used one no luck so far.
It's ridiculous to review a guitar and record the audio through the camera's mic. I would say with your setup it would even be hard to tell apart a Strat from a Tele.
I owned one for about 2 years before finally selling it out of frustration. The intonation was off and the guitar was always out of tune when playing chords. I sent it back in and they cut the nut slightly but that didn't help. There was no way to adjust the bridge to fix this. It was just installed slightly off at the factory. The push pull volume control crapped out after about 6 months and it had to be sent back for repair. Two months later the pickup selector switch crapped out and they sent me a new one that I had to install myself so I would not have to pay to have it shipped again. Not long before I sold it,the volume pot that they fixed crapped again. I had it replaced locally to avoid paying shipping again. It breaks my heart to have sold it,I wanted to keep it so bad,but it was just such a dog and unreliable. It sounded and looked amazing! I really wish I had one that was actually good. It was supposed to be my forever guitar! Like I said,I am heart broken….BTW, I took a big hit when I sold it because I disclosed all of its problems to the buyer.
Thanks for the vid. After watching a few different reviews of this guitar, I've noticed the output is noisy. Like, *annoyingly loud*. No one seems to mention this. The guitar looks and sounds fantastic. Personally, that noise kills it for me. I hear you saying 'just get a noise gate' or a Boss EQ pedal…but really for the price they want, it just shouldn't be that noisy. My 2 cents.
Personally, as a Blues player, I ❤ it.
That's a really nice guitar.
Is the finish nitro?
That would be interesting to hear the piezo in a common PA, flat hopefully 🙂
