I sure like my Godin Multiac Nylon dual chambered model. It is NOT the Godin Muliac ACS model.. You may be tempted to get the slim neck... but DON"T... The best nut width for crossover is the 1 7/8 inch.. the slim neck on the multiac nylon is just too narrow for nylon strings.. IMHO
If you are kind of tight for money then you could try the multiac nylon Encore series.. They have the same 1 7/8 inch nut width, but the body and electronics are cheaper... and thus the guitar is quite a bit less expensive. It is still a nice guitar, but it just doesn't have the quality of the original Multiac Nylon dual chambered model. I know this is all confusing... You really should try to get your hands on a couple. On top of all this... they keep coming out with new models!! Just make sure you either play before you buy or at least be able to return what you don't like...

I have owned a Taylor NS34CE and I have played the Godin Multiac. Both sound good plugged in, the Taylor sounds better than the Godin acoustically, but it was not very satisfying compared to a good classical. I currently own a Taylor NS74CE and gave the NS34CE to my son. The NS74CE sounds way better than the NS34CE, but I think the Cordoba Fusion Orchestra Pro is even better and certainly costs less. - Glenn |

I would echo the comments above on the Taylor N32 crossover...its pretty average at best and the electronics are no where near as developed as the higher end Godin offerings.. but sound better acoustically than the Godins. Unless your a Taylor worshipper, and there are reasons to be, I'd skip this offering on the nylon in favor of a Godin and get synth access as well on the sa models. I found the Godin largely useless for any percussive styles of play and the acoustic sound is just not there unplugged though.. if this is what you need or want, then the Cordoba fusion series, which are fan braced, will give you the better of both worlds at a price point that wont break the bank.

As I said earlier in this post though, I do like the mic images in my Godin Grand Concert Duet (Fishman elec, 2" nut) for plugged in work. Often I record my finals using the Godin directly from it's output. Works well. |

I have owned both. The Godin I thought sounded ok but did not like the way it played with the neck joining the body at the 14th fret. It felt big and cumbersome. The Taylor had Fishman electronics, did not like the plugged in tone. I bit the bullet and bought a Kirk Sand Mahogany model. I also have a Cervantes Crossover 1 with a Higlander system. For bang for the buck, the Cervantes is the best thing I have found and I think I have tried just about everything out there.

13pin advantages and Polybass
Hi
I would like to remind that the Godin Multiac models with 13pin DIN output have fare more advantages than allowing MIDI: - supply without battery - polyphonic effects which go far beyond ordinary effects and do not have the latency problems of MIDI - the Paradis Polybass board which adds a clean in phase integrated octave down single bass line and a noise free preamp into the instrument! |

I'm very happy with my Godin Multiac Grand concert SA. It is nylon stringed but you can use a pick without damaging it. There are many awesome things you can do with the synth port. I have mine hooked up to a Roland gr 55. When you are plugged in the wide body of the taylor seems obsolete. But, the playability of the Godin is outstanding. It is so responsive and even unplugged it sounds good.
