Here's an excerpt: It's always good to get an instrument that has a look, feel and sound all of its own, but at the same time projects a degree of familiarity. It's a tricky combination to pull off, but the Godin Shifter 4 achieves it rather well. Of course, there's plenty to suggest Fender of yesteryear - it could almost be a long-lost gem from the fifties golden era - but what's going on with those pickups? Basically this is a slab body design with a forearm chamfer and a rear belly cut for a little extra comfort. The body has something of a 'burst finish as it's translucent in the centre but becomes solid at the edge. The two neck plates, through-body string anchor plate and control cavity plate are also all neatly recessed into the body - a particularly nice touch. And check out this demo video!
