First, thanks to those who responed to my earlier question about the difference between high-priced and low end Ovation electrics. Now I want to ask about the Godin A-8.
In other posts it's gotten a lot of praise, from Scott himself in one message. Two posts concern me, though both were in the context of very positive overall feedback. One refers to a tendency of the top G string to jump its course when aggressively chopped. Another simply said, in praise of the overall responsiveness of the instrument, that you can't "dig in" as with a normal acoustic.
Our band does a number of hard core blues, and I'm not very shy about how I attack the strings on these particular songs. Any comments? Should I be wary? I do play a lot of fills and rythm with a lighter touch, but what about the hard double stops and tremelos? Will the Godin take it? (I certainly will try to sample the instrument first, but they are not always available locally.)
Thanks.
