NGD

[rjathon]

I just purchased a used Godin Multiac SA that was advertised as “excellent “ but could easily pass for brand new. I went for it because its previous owner was a guitar tech who did a pro set up on it and it is very easy to play. I wanted a relatively quiet (the wife doesn’t like my practice) nylon string guitar with a great action and this is it.

I have a little Yamaha THR5a to plug it into when the wife is out but probably won’t do it much as it is plenty loud enough for solo at home. It has the SA feature that I most likely will never use.

This is supposed to be a stage ready pro guitar but I will happily play it home alone forever. They are a steal as a used guitar.

Can you tell us more about it?

From a quick look on Reverb, looks like they go for $1000-1500?.

15 frets to the body, with a cutout. The saddle is 6 separate pieces? I can see how they can be setup perfectly then.

It looks like you have tone control (sliders) next to a speaker? So you can play it using the built-in speaker, or somehow use headphones, or pipe it out to an amp? What do all the buttons do?

Is the neck a typical classic shape (2"+ C shape)?

What is an 'SA' feature?

(sorry for all the questions).

Yes. The intonation is spot on and the action is amazing. It also play well with a pick without buzzing.

I don’t think that there is a speaker. Just a spot for sound to leave. There is no place to plug in headphones unluss the 1/4” jack could somehow be used. It can plugGed into an amplifier.

The fretboard is 1 29/32”. I don’t know about the neck other than that it feels very nice.


What is an 'SA' feature?

The SA stands for “synth access”. It has a 13 pin plug in for a cable to a Roland synthesizer. There are YouTube videos where this is done and they get amazing sounds from them.

I answered the questions above.

This is for practical purposes a brand new guitar that is a pleasure to play.
