Tonal versatility at its best! Featuring Seymour Duncan P-Rail pickups which allows the player to select between P90, Humbucker and single-coil sounds all in one guitar.

The Type2 Convertible features a chambered solid mahogany body with carved mahogany top (Natural model) or carved maple top (Sunburst model), 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 simple push of a button.

Th 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 + 5 pure active tones.

Hmm, not too sure about the whole HDR "revoicer" thing, and the switches placement looks a bit close for comfort to the pots.

Other than those two niggles I'm in.
 
It looks like it should be a pretty dang nice guitar, and the price is right. I'd have to play one to see how well those pickups actually work, but I like it.

Move the volume knob back about an inch, and I'd give it a go... I've heard mixed reviews about those pickups, some bad, but some quite good...
