“We told their manager we were open to making them a guitar. Two weeks later they were touring our factory”: The making of Angine de Poitrine’s new Godin double-neck – and why it’s not a signature model (yet)

Angine de Poitrine play on the main stage during the FIFA Fan Festival at Fort York & The Bentway on July 19, 2026 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In Chinese culture, 2026 is the year of the horse. In the guitar sphere, 2026 is the year of Angine de Poitrine and their brilliantly bonkers double-neck guitar/bass.
