Well, that just looks lovely! Happy NGD! I know nothing of amps either, but it looks like it has some nice knobs to fiddle with!

Yes, I like curves on the rear too. But arenāt we getting off-topic?
Oh, you mean the belly cut. 
My G&L has that and I was amazed at the difference in feel after the Squier Tele. It just nestles in really comfortably. I would never buy an electric guitar that didnāt have that feature.

Itās past midnight now and Iām feeling a bit too tired to tag everybody. Instead: Thank you all so much!!! 
Confessedly, I didnāt know Godin either before today. Itās a Canadian manufacturer, who produces all electric guitars in Quebec. Among others Seagull is a subsidiary of Godinā¦ That name might be bit more familiar, I guess.
The great Leonard Cohen played Godin? Canāt help smiling 
Iām glad so many here like the looks, itās in fact a very beautiful guitar. Given that the finishing is matte but slightly transparent just a hint of the structure of the wood can still be seen.
When it comes to playingā¦ I have played the Godin now for almost three hours just playing around with common chord progressions and different settings of the amp - and I am speechless. This feels like cheating. How can this guitar be that easy to play?!? F-bar chord? The one I dreaded so much? That I have not really even practiced at all? I got all strings ringing five more times. Not perfect, mind you, but itās possible. Bm, which I tried for fun? Check. Not always, far from that, but itās possible with all strings ringing out. Now I just have to continue practicing my missing four Grade 1 songs and remembering them by heart, and then Iām off to Grade 2.
Recordingā¦ Hmmā¦ Maybe next month

I believe Godin has the Godin brand, Seagull and Art &Lutherie.
I think they are well regarded and know for reasonably priced and quality instruments. The Godin line of electrics are really nice. I think you did very well there! My first guitar was an Art & Lutherie acoustic. Sweet little guitar. I probably sold it for reasons that had more to do with me than the guitar. The friend I sold it to loves it as a classroom and campfire guitar.
Anyway, I ramble. Good choice and who are we to judge if it really is all about the curvesā¦

Congratulations! Looks very nice. I never expect a guitar to be in tune at a guitar shop. Always take my own tuner with me.

I had the exact same experience when I first tried an electric. But you soon realise that it is almost too easy. The problem is keeping it quiet! Other strings ring out if you just breath on them and you have to be very diligent to keep the unwanted ones quiet. Itās an amazingly ānuancedā instrument, compared to an acousticā¦ but I am finding it endlessly fascinating.

So, yesā¦ @Malz and @Jamolay : Of course I was attracted by the curves 
Seriously though, might well be that they are an important factor why this guitar sits so nicely on my lap
@oztelemann I also have a Gretsch semi-hollow, so strictly speaking, this hasnāt been the first electric I ever played. When it comes to playbility though the Godin is so much better than the semi-hollow

Wish you many joyful hours of playing together - thatās totally worth a beans diet.
