Godin Passion RG-3: The first model crafted in the Godin Premier Atelier
A multitude of new and very exciting Godin guitars will be unveiled and undoubtedly heard at NAMM. First on the list is a true 6-string labor of love called the Godin Passion RG-3. Robert Godin’s dream of building the ultimate single-coil electric guitar is now a reality. The exquisite Passion RG-3 reaches new heights in craftsmanship and innovation and is truly a guitar for the single-coil obsessed. These instruments are handcrafted in Canada in the Godin Premier Atelier using only the finest selection of woods and features Godin’s new GS-3 single-coil pickups, as well as the Godin High-Definition Revoicer.
