Tonal versatility at its best!
The Type2 Convertible is equipped with Duncan P-Rail pickups that allow the player to select between P-90, humbucker, and single-coil sounds all in one guitar. It also features a chambered solid mahogany body with carved mahogany top (natural and burgundy models) or carved maple top (black and sunburst models), mahogany set-neck, 24 3/4" scale, 12" radius, ebony fingerboard with 22 frets, Graphtech ResoMax bridge and the Godin High-Definition Revoicer.
H.D.R. High-Definition Revoicer
The H.D.R. revoices and augments the frequency range of each pickup and allows the player to go from passive to active pickups with the push of a button. The H.D.R. provides extra bite, dynamic response and redefines the character of each pickup. It’s like having 2 sets of pickups in 1 guitar for 5 pure passive tones a well as pure active tones.
All ICON models are built and assembled in Richmond QC, Canada

Comments about Godin Icon Type 2 Convertible Electric Guitar:
If you want a sound just like a Tele; Get a Tele
If you want a sound just like a les paul;Get a L/P
Do all model Teles sound the same?
Do all Les Paul models sound the same?
If so; why different models?
That being said ;Let me say this
Don,t expect this guitar to do all the above;
Theres a lot of tone in this guitar
Mine is well constructed.
Came set up as I would have set it;
I have several guitars Rock to jazz and use
light9-42 to heavy 12-56 guages on them ;setting
them to suit myself.
The neck is straight .the frets are level.
Mixing of the pickup combinations,really brings out some nice sounds.
I think for the price , its definatly a keeper!

Comments about Godin Icon Type 2 Convertible Electric Guitar:
Bought this guitar to fill the gaps between my Strat and Taylor T5 Semi-Hollow, and I'm thoroughly pleased.
This instrument is quality, beautiful construction, top to bottom, and the Seymour Duncan P-Rails offer incredible flexibility and range.
You can cycle through Single coil, Humbucker, and P90 settings, and combine them all in more ways than I will probably ever fully utilize; but it's always nice to have that flexibility easily at hand.
I was warned by the dealers that to be cautious in thinking it's three guitars-in-one, but now that I've worked with the Icon Type II, I strongly disagree. And the inbetween settings -- for example P90 in the neck, single coil at bridge, with the in the neck position -- offers some of the more unique sounds.
An easy player, the guitar feels tight and responsive.
After all this, the rectifier is a great way to take it to 11, when needed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
