Godin Multiac Spectrum SA Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar

An acoustic guitar, an electric guitar and a synth controller, all in one? Yes… the Godin Multiac Spectrum SA gives you all three options in one very well made (and very good looking) package!

I will admit that I’m not the biggest fan of the whole “two for the price of one” thing; it can often be a very over-played marketing approach. But sometimes it’s just the plain ol’ truth. This guitar provides a wealth of tonal options that leave no stone un-turned. Here we have “Three in one….” and there is much to be impressed by.

First things first: This is one great acoustic guitar. Before you even plug in a 1/4″ cable, you can’t help be impressed with the full-bodied sound of this instrument. The Chambered Mahogany body is key here; the projection is excellent, yet the overall tone is very balanced, and the spruce top gives great snap to your sound. Also well done here is the Mahogany neck and Ebony fingerboard. While ebony does tend to have a fairly bright tone, the Mahogany is a nice balance for that.

Not too far from the neck is a Seymour Duncan Lipstick pickup. The coolio hollow-ish sounds that jump out are just stunning. While this is an acoustic guitar, it can certainly double for an electric in certain circumstances. Depending on the tone you are going for, you might need only one gig-bag at your next session. Not too far from your strap lock is a 13-pin jack that allows you to control a RolandTM GR-Series synthesizer. Not too far out of your reach is the set of controls that allow you to decide how much of everything you want, as well as EQ.

I’m not too sure you could ask for a whole lot more here. Godin does not make bad guitars. Here they put out one that is exceptional. Sure, you could spend more… but at the end of the day; you want the most for your money. With the Godin Multiac Spectrum SA, you get more than your money’s worth; you get the Best Acoustic Electric Guitar on the market, with electric sounds, and a synth controller.  I’d say someone ought to send these folks at Godin a thank you note.
