I have an L-10-12 serial number 10851 that I bought in 1981 or 82. It had fallen off the rack in the store, and had cracked and been repaired. The repair was (and still is) quite visible, but it doesn't seem to affect the tone at all. I think I paid less than $200 for it back then.
I'm still playing it, and despite the dings and dents that come from dragging a guitar all over North America for over 20 years its still plays well and sounds great.
Godin makes fine guitars. I also own a Godin electric that is as good as anything out there. I'm really happy to support a company that produces a world-class product at a reasonable price without shipping the manufacturing to China or Korea.
As for selling it, you'll have to pry it from my cold stiff fingers, and do it quick before my son grabs it.
