Godin Guitars
Keven endorses Godin Guitars and plays the Ultra A6
====
Robert Godin began building guitars in a small rural Quebec village, following his passion for music and craftsmanship. His determination, care, ingenuity, and dedication to craftsmanship led to the creation of Godin Guitars, now one of North America's leading guitar manufacturers. Godin Guitars offers musicians around the world unique and diverse instruments that meet their needs and expectations. You'll see for yourself when you play the first notes!
Fifty years after the creation of Godin Guitars, the same passion still drives the new generation through Simon and Patrick, Robert's two sons. Today, our guitars continue to evolve and make their mark on the industry with their modern, refined design, highlighting the handiwork of the company's craftsmen.
There are five brands in the Godin family: Seagull, Simon & Patrick, Norman, Art & Lutherie and Godin. The company is also the manufacturer of the revolutionary TRIC guitar cases, which offer an unparalleled level of protection.

Inspired in part by Led Zeppelin’s pick-playing multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones, Connecticut and New York-based musicians Mark Labbe and Michael DePietro crafted their own variation of that band’s “The Lemon Song” — they simply made lemonade out of the deficiencies they found in standard flat picks by creating their new Acoustik Attak brand of revolutionary 3D guitar and bass “piks.”
The patented series debuts with the “Attak” and “Ambush” models, each designed to achieve similar effects to electronic pedals or equalizers at a fraction of the cost. Unlike standard plectrums, Acoustik Attak Piks feature patented sets of ridges, bumps, diamonds and other designs on the top and bottom sides of their attack zone tips. These create multiple strikes on strings, enhanced harmonics, and new frequencies that were literally unheard of beforehand.
“It’s a new path for sound enhancement and effect production,” says Chairman & CEO DePietro. “We are attempting to do this through scientific engineering with the given components and tools of guitars and basses, rather than adding electronics to modify and enhance their sound.”
Tru-Fi© Guitar Pedals
Keven is proud to be an artist that plays Tru-Fi Pedals.
Tru-Fi builds some of the finest guitar pedals in the world encased in brightly coloured, super durable cases. These pedals are used by the likes of Joe Satriani, Marcus King, Billy Gibbons and Peter Frampton, among many others. Handmade, beautifully painted and a vintage tone that only the most skilled builders can create.
Keven currently uses the Tru-Fi Ultra Tremolo Pedal, a warm vintage Trem that thickens the tone ala Chris Stapleton or Marcus King.
