MGR/John Gorbe « Godin Multiac SA »
Published on 12/08/10 at 15:00The Godin Multiac SA has a solid spruce top, chambered mahogany body, mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard and custom RMC electronics with a 13-pin connector for control of Roland GR Series and Axon AX100 guitar synths.
The guitar is a nylon string but is much easier to play than a traditional classical guitar due to the 1 7/8' nut width.
I'm a professional guitarist with 31 years experience. I perform a variety of styles as an independent artist and with a band and love to use the Multiac not only for my classical work, but also for jazz and latin styles as well.
I ordered this guitar through Medley Music in Philadelphia, Pa. for $1200

This guitar oozes quality. I love the feel of ebony, especially when married with mahogany and nylon strings and this guitar delivers the smooth and elegant feel one would expect from a guitar of this caliber.
I also really appreciate the placement of the synth controls. I've used this guitar with a Roland GR-1 many times during performances and always felt comfortable controlling patches and volume in the heat of a performance.
There's nothing I don't like on this guitar, however I would like to see a wider body as an option on future models.
This is a really nice guitar that's made to last. Tuning the guitar you'll notice how smooth the tuning machines are and how well it holds tune.
The craftmanship is flawless throughout: Frets are dressed well, binding on the body is clean and smooth and my thumb slides smoothly across the neck without that 'sticky' feeling you feel in other guitars.
The frequency response is evenly balanced across the spectrum although bass frequencies lack just a bit for my taste given the thin body. This guitar shines best when it's plugged in and even has a mid-shift switch you can boost or cut at 700 or 1200 Hz.
The Godin Multiac SA is made for the professional musician in the studio or on the road. It's superb sound quality and feel place it in a notch by itself regarding nylon string guitars. The synth access bridges the gap between traditional and sampled sounds unlocking an unlimited resource of potential for the nylon string guitarist.
