SeriesGodin A

$800, with case, at a guitar show It has a very acoustic tone when properly EQ'ed and is not too huge, unlike fully hollow AGBs. I use Fender black nylon covered roundwounds, and get a somewhat URB-like voice. Also, it looks cool with the natural finish cedar top and plain fretless fingerboard. Action is very decent for a non-adjustable bridge. It's a bit neck-heavy, not too bad though. The slider pots for EQ and gain are very "fast" over a short distance, hard to set safely while playing. Biggest gripe is the 4-inline peghead. Singe the body is barely bigger than the typical solid body, if the peghead were a little shorter it would be much easier to find gigbags Carved maple semi-hollow body with cedar top and wooden acoustic-style bridge, LR Baggs piezo set up . Single cutaway. Bolt-on maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, fender-style headstock. Everything seems well done. There are 2 access panels on the back side, near the EQ/gain control unit, and under the bridge. It's an easy to play medium weight ax with a distinct tonal voice at a reasonable price. That very few gig bags will fit it, and that it's a bit neck heavy, are not enough to prevent enjoying it, but if those could be remedied I'd rate it a "5". As delivered, it's a "4".

I hadnt really played for a decade or so & wanted to start playing again. I used to have a Univox les paul 70's & a Guild acoustic. Used to play thru a Vox (70's solid state I believe) 10-15 watt amp so I was and still am a semi-beginner. Not really knowing what to expect, I couldn't make up my mind on what to get. I knew though the 1st time I played the Godin a6, that my mind was made up. A very easy feel with its thin neck; lightweight; sweet acoustic sounding & easy to play. (my fingers hadn't played for years. While shopping, I let other customers play it thru any small amp on the store's floor to get an idea of whta it would sound like amplified. Again not palying for so long I didnt know what to expect. I paid aprx 650.00 with a nice Godin case. (I felt pretty special at this point.) I've used it 3-4 times a week now for a almost 1yr now. Played it thru Fender Princeton; Vox Pathfinder and of course my only remaining piece from 10 yrs ago my little Pignose. For someone getting back into playing mild rock, blues etc I highly recommend it. Its lived upto the reviews I've read over the past year. The store's name was Keeney Bros. Light on the fingers; An electric guitar feel; a sweet acoustic sound; the eq is handy & easily accesible; love the finish. Nothing yet! No problems aftr 1 year. Unsure of the details regarding construction. Materials weren't really an issue for me just getting back into playing again. I went with my gut feelings or should I say my fingers feelings. The A6 just felt right in my hands. Since I hadnt played for so long, I didnt judge it on how it sounded amplified. Only how it sounded & felt to my semi-beginer's ears. Absolutley love it!
