Members bfloyd6969 Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 From what I've read, wild cherry is similar in sound characteristics to mahogany. I believe on the Godin sites (Norman, Art and Lutherie, Simon and Patick, Seagull), there is alot of wild cherry in the parts of Canada they are made in. It's been a while since I read their sites but I believe this to be true... (though I could be wrong) I'm a Godin fan myself and love their acoustics. I have Art and Lutheries.

Members bfloyd6969 Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 From the Art and Lutherie site: Made in Canada. Being able to say these words and truthfully mean it, is something we are very proud of in this day and age. Handcrafted in Canada using 95% Canadian wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Glenn F Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 I used to have a B20C. Don't think there was a W there. It was a great guitar for the money. I sold it after getting my Taylor, thinking it was redundant (the guitar collecting sickness wasn't upon me at that point), I sold it. It was a mistake. Cheers, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was yours a cutaway model? Perhaps they added the W after your model... Sorry to hear about your loss. I have quite a few guitars I got rid of and now regret it:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Glenn F Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yep, it was the cutaway. Bought in 1998, I believe, so the W may have come later. I don't think the OP could go wrong with one of these, though I can't speak to their current quality. Like most Godin gits, though, it is probably still a very good value.

I just bought a new model A & L dread for my daughter and the quality is still top notch. In fact, her 2009 model seems better than my 2000 model... Great company! To the OP - if you can still get the display model at a discount, I wouldn't even be thinking about it. Grab it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 The Norman guitar you should look at is the ST-40. Solid cedar top with mahogany laminate back and sides. Lovely guitar. From the Norman website: The warm and smooth tone of the Studio series ST40 comes from the combination of its mahogany back & sides and solid cedar top. The semi-gloss Custom Polished finish allows the wood to breathe and vibrate freely which promotes a higher level of acoustic tone, the more the guitar is played overtime. specs Back & Sides : 3-way Lamination of Mahogany Top : Cedar (Select Pressure Tested Solid Top) Fingerboard & Bridge : Rosewood Finish : Semi-Gloss Custom Polished Finish Tusq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
