Contexto
Cómo trabajamos esta marca
Godin is preserved as Brand because there is documentary circulation of its instruments on the European market or second hand. Technical information must still be closed with period catalogues or manufacturer documentation. Until then, materials, scales, bridges, electronics or manufacturing country must not be attributed universally to all its units.

Families and documented instruments
The available context includes a family of electric bass with the models Multiac, LGXT, Session, Stadium, A6 and Radium. The denominations can correspond to different configurations according to the range and period, so it is not appropriate to extrapolate a common specification to all of them.
What should be identified before intervention?
Antes de ajustar el instrumento o solicitar piezas, es recomendable confirmar el modelo exacto, el año, la fábrica y las medidas reales. También debe comprobarse la configuración concreta de electrónica y herrajes instalada en esa unidad.
Revisiones habituales en taller
Una puesta a punto puede incluir la comprobación del estado general, el ajuste del mástil y de la acción, la revisión de afinación y entonación y la verificación de los componentes eléctricos cuando el instrumento los incorpore. El alcance debe definirse después de inspeccionar la unidad.
Acústicas, sistemas activos y mantenimiento
En instrumentos acústicos o de construcción sensible a la humedad conviene controlar las condiciones ambientales. Si el sistema es activo, hay que revisar también la alimentación y el estado de la batería o de sus conexiones, sin asumir una electrónica concreta por la marca.
Límites de una valoración a distancia
Fotos y una descripción pueden orientar, pero no permiten confirmar por sí solas medidas, deformaciones, desgaste interno, compatibilidad de piezas o el origen de una avería. Para un diagnóstico fiable es necesario examinar el instrumento y verificar su configuración.

Preguntas frecuentes
How do I know if my guitar needs a refret?
A guitar usually requires a refret when the frets show deep grooves, uneven wear, persistent fret buzz, or tuning problems that cannot be fixed with a setup or leveling. Before recommending a full refret, it is advisable to perform a diagnosis of the frets and the neck.
What is the difference between leveling the frets and refretting?
Leveling corrects minor height differences and moderate wear, preserving the existing frets. Refretting involves removing the old frets and installing new ones. The choice depends on the available wear, remaining height, and overall condition of the fretboard.
Can a guitar with a maple fretboard be refretted?
Yes, but it requires more work and care because the finish can be affected during the removal and installation of the frets. In some cases, it is necessary to repair or partially redo the clear coat around the fret slots.
Can a guitar be refretted with binding?
Yes. A fretboard with binding requires a more delicate process to preserve or reconstruct the fret ends and the side finish correctly. For this reason, it often has a higher cost than a standard refret.
How long does a full refret take?
The time depends on the condition of the neck, the type of fretboard, the presence of binding, and the finish. As a reference, it usually requires several days of work between removal, preparation, installation, leveling, polishing, and final setup.
