Guitars No Longer in Production

• Exit 22 - Similar to the SD in pickup configuration and scale length, but with a fixed bridge and solid mahogany body. The Exit 22 does not have a pickguard, and is available with a solid maple neck, or maple with rosewood fingerboard. Left-Handed and Right-Handed. A French man bought one of the last Exit 22.
• LG Signature - A Signature Series version of the LG. Available with AAA or AA grade maple tops, the LG Signature had a carved top, 25.5" scale length, mahogany bodies and necks, Seymour Duncan humbuckers, and rosewood fretboards. The LG Signature was first produced in 2003 and was discontinued at the end of 2007.

• LGT - The "T" in LGT stands for Tremolo. Hence, this was an LG model with a floating Tremolo bridge made by Schaller. It has locking Schaller tuners, Schaller Trem 2000 bridge, a five-way selector switch, two single pickups (neck, mid), a humbucker (bridge) - all Godin design. The scale length is 24¾", with a 16" radius. The body is Maple, with a one-piece mahogany neck and an Indian Rosewood fretboard. Because this particular model was only produced for a year (between 1996 and 97), it is one of the rarest Godin models around.

• Flat Five - A hollowbody guitar, the Flat Five had a flame maple top, a 24.75" scale length, silverleaf maple body with poplar wings, a mahogany neck and rosewood fretboards.

• Flat Five X - A Flat Five model equipped with L.R. Baggs transducers.

• G-Series - Along with the Artisan series, the G-series guitars were amongst the first produced by the company. Some, if not all guitars in the range have "G-Series USA" written on the headstock, meaning that they were hand-crafted in Canada, yet assembled in the USA. The models in the range are as follows:

All G Series models (except the G tour) have a maple or limewood body (depending on the production year), a maple neck a maple or rosewood fingerboard.

The G1000 has 2 singles and a humbucker and a standard trem bridge.

• Detour - A dual-cutaway "superstrat" design with a fixed bridge and two humbuckers. Some models have active EMG humbuckers and is aimed at modern metal and heavy rock players. The Detour was introduced in 2005.
