Breaking the status quo once again…
Although the Stadium 59 looks mostly like a T-style guitar with the modification of a humbucker in the neck position it is way more than this. Godin exchanged the typical 3-way switch with a 5 way-switch to offer two further pickup variations. The position 2 is the split Seymour Duncan ’59 humbucker in series with the Godin Custom Cajun single coil to achieve a sweet single coil sound with a richer midrange content. Whereas the position 4 is the same but parallel wiring for bright stringy response and scooped mids. Furthermore the Stadium 59 features Godin’s High Definition Revoicer. By pushing the tiny black button next to the tone control the pickups become active to add bite and clarity. The 9V-powered HDR alters the frequency range of the pickups to give you an extra amount of presence and more tonal flexibility. What a smart add-on!
