Godin nylon electro-acoustic guitar for stage use
If you need a nylon electro-acoustic guitar that stays reliable on stage at higher volumes, the Godin Multiac Grand Concert Natural is built with exactly that use in mind. This high-end stage/hybrid model combines the feel of a traditional classical guitar with modern electronics and a feedback-resistant design, so it also works well in the studio.
The semi-solid thin body feels comfortable, especially if you come from electric guitar. The 50.8 mm nut width, the fairly flat 24-inch radius and the neck joint at the 12th fret support a classically oriented playing feel, with 19 frets and a scale length of about 650–652 mm.
Build and sound of the Multiac Grand Concert
The solid cedar top gives this Godin a warm, rich and dynamic sound. The mahogany body and mahogany neck, combined with the chambered construction, create controlled resonance, something you notice clearly in the very focused amplified tone.
That combination makes this nylon stage guitar especially appealing for live work. The sound stays full and direct, while the sound chambers in the body help reduce feedback when amplified.
Electronics and connections
A major point of distinction on the Godin Multiac Grand Concert SA is its pickup and preamp system from Custom RMC / LR Baggs, depending on the model. The controls for volume, bass, mid and treble let you shape the amplified sound for the room, the band mix or recording.
Alongside the standard 1/4 inch jack output, this model includes a 13-pin synth output compatible with Roland GR guitar synthesizers. That makes this Godin a strong choice for professional players who want synth applications within one nylon-string electro-acoustic guitar. The guitar includes a gigbag, and Magna Music's workshop can help with setup and maintenance.
