The Godin Fairmount CH Composer QIT is a Canadian-crafted acoustic-electric guitar that seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern design, making it an excellent choice for singer-songwriters and folk musicians.
Design & Build
Featuring a Concert Hall body shape with a shallow depth, this guitar offers a comfortable playing experience, especially suited for fingerstyle players and those who prefer a more intimate feel. The body boasts an all-mahogany construction: a solid mahogany top and back, complemented by layered mahogany sides, delivering a warm, rich tone with pronounced midrange and a mellow top end.
Neck & Fingerboard
The mahogany neck is paired with a Richlite fingerboard, providing a smooth playing surface and contributing to the guitar's overall tonal warmth. With a 25.5" scale length, 16" fingerboard radius, and a nut width of 1.72" (43.688 mm), the Fairmount CH Composer QIT ensures comfortable playability across various styles.
Electronics
Equipped with Godin's QIT system, the guitar features an under-saddle transducer and an onboard preamp with a built-in tuner, along with volume, treble, and bass controls mounted on the shoulder. This setup allows for easy amplification and tonal adjustments, making it stage-ready for live performances.
Hardware & Finish
The guitar includes open-gear tuners with a 16:1 ratio for precise tuning stability. A Graph Tech TUSQ nut and an ebony bridge further enhance the instrument's tonal qualities and sustain. The natural semi-gloss finish not only highlights the mahogany's grain but also adds to the guitar's elegant aesthetic
