Made in Canada, quality components:
Hard maple neck
Rosewood
Radius of 40.6 cm (16 in.)
Pitch of 64.75 cm (25 1 / 2 inch)
Nut 4.3 cm (1 11/16)
Silver Leaf Maple body dual acoustic chamber
Solid Cedar

Color Natural Satin
The body has two acoustic chambers in silver maple with a thickness of 51 mm and is covered with a solid cedar top is perfectly symmetrical. The handle of 64.75 cm is made of hard maple and covered with a rosewood fingerboard
UTILIZATION
I wanted a 12 string with a stick thin enough for my small hands and the ones I tried seemed impossible to play, with sleeves too wide or too big.
The Godin A12 is ideal for this, the handle is of course wider than a 6 string but low and in addition it is relatively flat which makes the game
The action is reasonably comfortable, I also just down smoothly. On some 12-string is recommended to play open chords on that one I think we can play standard because it is not difficult to bars that ring, and chain chords and arpeggios.
In addition, the guitar is remarkably light in which further increases the comfort of play
As soon as I got this guitar I changed the strings for ELIXIR 18152 BRONZE ANTI RUST 10/47, for their sound quality but also for their longevity to avoid having to change them too often (12 string c ' is still long).
SOUNDS
Godin's reputation for its acoustic-electric (I often read this formula for Godin instead of electro-acoustic), is well established and indeed they are seen regularly on stage and played by professionals not lower (the A 12 is used by Brian May in concert especially for Love of My Heart)
It is clear that this is not a sound but the real
internal chambers can produce enough resonance. on the other hand when compared with other electro-acoustic sound is impressive and quite natural, especially in this price book. I never tried the 12-string high-end such as Guild and I guess it's something else but for how often different prices!
As for me and for the use I make it the best possible compromise, a sound beautiful, rich sound, due to the large number of harmonics that make this a warm and enveloping, entrancing enough. I think it's really superb rhythm, obviously with more open chords.
It's a real treat to find the magnitude of the sound of Hotel California, folk ballads, some of Genesis and of course to Wish you were here on my amp (Schertler Unico).
OVERALL OPINION
I've had three months.
I tried other models from 500 to € 1500 which I had not convinced, especially with the size of my hand, comfort is an important issue for me, and I despaired of having one day a 12-string. Then I read good things about the United States Godin sites, I decided to trust the advice and I did well. Besides a few weeks after I also bought her little sister the Godin A6 Ultra.
The value for money seems largely unbeatable.
