Product Description

A Player’s Piece with Punch and Personality

This pre-owned 2005 Godin LG Signature isn’t just another guitar—it’s a bona fide workhorse with a story to tell. Finished in a gorgeous Trans Black over a carved flame maple top, it’s got the kind of understated class that looks killer under stage lights. Built in Canada with a resonant mahogany body and a smooth mahogany neck, this guitar is all about tone that feels alive in your hands. It’s got that perfect combo of warmth, sustain, and bite that makes you want to play for hours. And at this price, it’s an absolute steal for a North American-made instrument of this quality.

Seymour Duncan Soul

The heart of this LG Signature is its powerhouse duo of Seymour Duncan humbuckers. The search results point to a common and stellar pairing for this model: a Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck and a Custom Custom in the bridge. The Jazz pickup delivers those smooth, glassy clean tones with incredible clarity, perfect for articulate rhythm work or buttery leads. Kick it over to the Custom Custom in the bridge, and you unleash a torrent of rich, warm distortion with plenty of midrange punch that cuts right through the mix without ever sounding harsh. It’s a beautifully balanced set that can handle anything you throw at it.

The 5-Way Secret Weapon

Here’s where the LG Signature really stands out from the pack. That 5-way switch isn’t just for show—it unlocks a whole palette of tones you wouldn’t expect from a dual-humbucker setup. In addition to the standard neck and bridge humbucker positions (positions 1 and 5), you get coil-tapped single-coil sounds from both the neck and bridge (positions 2 and 4), plus a parallel combination of both full humbuckers in the middle. This gives you everything from spanky, Strat-like quack to full-throated Les Paul roar, all in one guitar. It’s a ridiculously versatile setup for the stage or the studio.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

It’s a fantastic feature for versatility. Positions 1 and 5 give you the full-throated tone of the bridge and neck humbuckers, respectively. Positions 2 and 4 split the coils of each pickup, giving you brighter, lower-output single-coil sounds perfect for clean rhythms or tones with more ‘spank’. Position 3 combines both humbuckers for a full, powerful clean or rhythm tone.
The string-thru-body design, paired with the Schaller bridge, does wonders for sustain and resonance. By anchoring the strings directly through the mahogany body, you get a more direct transfer of vibration, resulting in a guitar that rings out longer and feels more acoustically alive in your hands.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
