Two Godin products here.
I have a 2003 Arts & Lutherie Cedar. This was back in the day when the rosette was a silk-screened rope pattern. Very plain jane guitar. Sounds fantastic. Only issues is that it is particular about humidity and needs the truss rod twisted left or right about a quarter turn every six months.
Also, more recently, about a year ago I bought a Seagull Coastline Grand Parlor sized guitar. Nice guitar too. Sound is a little thin compared to the Cedar, but it's a parlor sized guitar, probably a 0. Within it's boundaries, it's lovely.
I am itching to get a Seagull Mini-Jumbo, probably the Entourage Rustic. I'd like the SWS Maritime, but have not seen it stocked locally and it's a few more buck$.
Not only do they sound great, but the satisfaction of owning a guitar that has never crossed an ocean is nice.
