Nice story about Godin stepping up and helping out. One day I'd like to make it to one of their factories in Quebec. Guessing that they'd give a tour.

I'm a big fan of the Simon & Patrick guitars.

I think Robert Godin is one of the smartest guys in the industry. He always seems enthusiastic of his products, personnel, and factories. I was impressed with him before this story; this just affirmed my initial thoughts. Good for them!

I had read that Godin manufacturers more guitars than Martin, Taylor or Gibson in a year. According to Cleartone strings, back in 2014, Godin was making 175,000 guitars per year. Impressive.

I have two Godins (Godi?) and they do make a high quality product for an astoundingly fair price.
