Godin Guitars Unleashes Shred-fully Delicious Redline 1

Redline 1

Redline 1

Recently unveiled at the Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, the New Godin Redline 1 offers the aggressive, more shred minded players a straight-up, plug-in and rip 6-string monster. A cathartic experience to say the least.

The new Redline 1 features the wonderfully simple yet effective combination of 1 pick-up and 1 volume knob. The guitar’s searing and ferocious tone is delivered via its sustain inducing, string through, silver leaf maple body with poplar wings and an active EMG-81 humbucker in the bridge position. Any pent up aggression can be unleashed upon the new, faster and sleeker, Redline 1 rock maple neck with ergocut rosewood fingerboard and super jumbo frets. Other features include a newly designed, aggressively styled Redline 3 & 3 headstock and the militant look of the black graphite SG finish.
