Godin 5th Ave Composer

...and he sounds pretty much the same.

My problem as well. A half a dozen, or so, guitars and I sound the same no matter which one I pick up. At least that's what my wife and daughter say and then ask why I need so many.

The fact that guys like Gray Sargent and Philippe Catherine, who can play anything they want, chose to play those "humble" Godins kind of speaks for itself...

Which of course--just to play devil's advocate--is quite interesting because Philip Catherine retired his old roadworn 175 recently and has been playing a Godin Composer...and he sounds pretty much the same.

He sounds great with it:

I note Philip has the stock Godin pickup - also his top is more nicely figured than mine (jealous).

Hey I just went looking for the Godin Composer out of curiosity and it looks like it may have been discontinued. I see used ones on Reverb and eBay but no dealers selling them new. Sweetwater and Amazon both indicate it's "no longer available". Anybody know about that?

Here it is at Sweetwater:

Thanks, I must have followed an out of date link.

there's a burst composer for sale on the guitar center used website- $749, if someone is interested.

There is a local one for a really good price. My archtop spot has been filled recently, but GAS.... How would the Composer compare to an ar371?
