« Godin A6 Acoustic Electric »

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!
