Description

feed back free nylon string with 13 pin output Here's one of many innovative axes from Godin. The ACS-SA blends a nylon classical guitar with Godin's unique solid bodies, with a chambered maple body and cedar top. It features on-board electronics for a straight acoustic sound, and like many of Godin's instruments it features a 13-pin connector for use with guitar synths. Plenty of options here.Godin's Multiac SeriesThe Multiac models represent the créme de la créme of the acoustic/electric guitar world. Whether you're recording, performing or just looking for an incredible plugged-in sound, these instruments deliver superb results. Several of these guitars are nylon string and the remaining are steel string. The various models are also distinguished by the two electronic systems used in the Multiac series guitars. The RMC-equipped Multiacs include synth access capabilities, and the Duet models feature custom dual source systems by L.R. Baggs. RMC Polydrive preamp system with plenty of control. Send a standard 1/4-inch output or use the 13-pin connector with Roland or other guitar synthesizers. A True HybridThe ACS blends classical guitar concepts with elements of solid body design. The incredibly comfortable neck from the Multiac Nylon is used here with a Maple body and Cedar top to achieve Godin's most affordable synth access guitar ever. Although the body is chambered, response from the maple top is more typical of a solid body design than that of a traditional acoustic guitar. This design results in an instrument that is virtually free of feedback, making it easy to use even when the band gets loud.The mahogany neck holds an ebony fretboard with 22 medium nickel frets and offset dot inlays, and thanks to the deep cutaway you can actually access the higher ones.Synth AccessThe Multiacs that use the RMC Polydrive system can be recognized by the individual transducer saddles under each string. This system not only produces superb amplified sound, but also produces a hexaphonic output through a 13-pin connector, which provides these guitars with direct access to Roland GR-Series synthesizers. The key to the exceptional synth tracking of the Multiac lies not just in the electronics but also in the carefully selected and balanced blend of different wood used in its design. All of the materials used are the result of extensive prototype testing to achieve the best possible combination of plugged-in guitar sound and synth tracking.Output SectionAll of the Multiac SA models are equipped with two outputs. The 1-/4-inch phone output works with a regular guitar cord. The 13-pin connector provides hexophonic (a separate signal for each string) output for guitar synth devices.ACS-SA SpecsBody: Chambered Silver Leaf Maple With Cedar Top Neck: MahoganyFingerboard: EbonyFrets: 22 Medium NickelFingerboard Radius: 16"Scale: 25 1/2"Top Nut: Tusq by GraphtechNut Width: 1 11/16"Bridge Transducer and Preamp: RMC Custom Poly-Drive System Outputs: 1/4-Inch, 13-Pin for Roland GR Synths & Other 13-Pin Devices Finish: Natural Semi-Gloss

    • Love at first sight.
Color: Semi-Gloss Natural
Although I own a 52 telecaster reissue, a vintage Gibson 347 es and a Takamine Classical Guitar, this Godin Guitar is the one I pick up. It’s neck , action and sound are perfect for finger style , Classical and beyond . The craftsmanship is impeccable. I guess I’ll have to dust off my other guitars occasionally, because this is the Guitar I’ll be playing the most. It such a wonderful instrument I lose track of time, just like when I was a kid. Love at first sight. ... show more

    • The Battery connection is garbage, so is the cover

The sound is great, the look is beautiful. BUT, the battery connection is garbage, cheap as hell for the price of this guitar, I'm always afraid that when I have to replace the battery the wires will be ripped out. The battery cover is also flimsy ( I'm holding it down with tape.) It's so small that after a few battery changes the tabs broke. I love the guitar but wish that they would do a better job with this aspect. It could render the guitar useless if the connection breaks, for the price of this guitar it's unacceptable! ... show more

    • Go Godin
Color: Black,Silver
I'm glad to say this guitar was much more than I expected. I bought it without having played one and was a bit nervous until it arrived but since then I haven't set it down. Whether I'm playing it through my Fishman acoustic amp or have it plugged straight into my Mackie 1201-VLZ3 mixer running into my computer, the sound is top notch and versatile for just about any genre of music you want to play. Quality inside and out. ... show more

    • The 13 pin connector is there for a reason
Color: Semi-Gloss Natural
When I purchased my Godin ACS and GR-55 I thought of them as a matching pair and I ordered them at the same time. My Godin arrived first and when I first played it I was very surprised and disappointed. I play a classical guitar style and IMO the guitar was (is) not suitable for this style of playing. It is basically a solid-body electric guitar fitted with nylon strings and piezos. This set up creates a wonderful mellow sound with lots of natural sustain for Willie Nelson kind of leads. But for fingerstyle playing, I thought there was way too much sustain. I couldn't control the sustained ringing of open strings. For example the bottom E bass string would ring loudly for a long time after my fingers had changed to a D chord. I do think this would be a great guitar for a lead player in a church's P&W band. I almost returned it but decided to wait until my GR-55 came in. The GR-55 modeling made all the difference for me. It solved the sustain problems I had and I now love the sound. I'm not saying it's the best sound because I've never owned another guitar synth but the sound I get from the ACS/GR-55 is plenty good enough for me. ... show more

    • Excellent guitar
Color: Semi-Gloss Natural
I have a VG guitar system and own an electric Robert Moore guitar and an Ovation acoustic, both with the 13 pin connector. This classical Godin is sweet and very fun to play with this system. Quick and smooth fretboard, nice weight, great sound.

    • Perfect for the classical guitarist.
Color: Semi-Gloss Natural
The neck is wide but slim. Plays almost like an electric guitar except for the wide neck. Connected to a Roland GR-55 it's a very versatile instrument and now my favorite guitar.

    • Parts finding electronics not the guitar
Color: Semi-Gloss Natural
My Godin 2001 SG NAT, 13 pin connector would not hold the cable. After a test found out 4 holes are blocked. I had to force to insert the cable . It finally was impossible. Four months looking for the part all I found, was the picture of the company owner and the picture of the part which a black plate with a 13 pin and a 1/4 jack. All the reps want to sell you another guitar. In fact no mentioning the name one rep did not know what is a 13 pin cable. Sent an email to headquarter, speedy response. however, the answer was your guitar is 2001, we don't make this part and don't have it. The advise was have it fixed. This is not a fixable part you just replace it. I lost so much money assembling guitars to learn. One big reason to say that the best guitars are made here in the USA. This guitar is to some degree a copy of late 1980's Kramer Ferrington 22 frets only has the 13 pin synthesizer capillarity like GR-33, GR-20 etc. If you can't get the part all you have a three stars nylon acrostic good for nothing guitar $300 not over $1000. without accusing one can't help to think if they even made in Canada. Therefore spending over a $1000.00 on this guitar make sure you have access to parts when are needed. After all this guitar is no match to American made guitars such as Taylor, for sure Gibson acoustic electric. If you are ready to spend the money check these factors. Also if your Godin synthesizer 13 pin is more 5 years old get rid of it. Quality of the guitar is not that bad. Assembly questionable. I have other issues, screw which was not set straight when is tide move the unit causing problem. My reason for 3 stars. Action pliability my Asian Ibanez is a match if not better. So you see I don't need to mention Martin, Taylor, Gibson. and in solid body PRS both CE and SE. I am very upset. Please Leave guitar making to USA. In conclusion, if you like to play a nylon sting guitar which has synthesizer access this is the only one I know. Guitar action is good. It is not a loud guitar lack of real sound hole good for practice after mid night.However do yourself a favor and buy an extra unit that include input jacks both 13 pin and 1/4. This way after 5 or 7 years you don't have to look for someone to replace it for you. I called a guitar repair shop near me he told me Godin has problem fixing their own guitars. I am talking electronic high tech parts not the guitar. Forget how warm or cold guitar sound CLICHE talk. We are not taking a shower we play the guitar. If you are not good with soldering DO NOT make an attempt to change the Din 13 pin input jack on the green circuit board. If you or even your local guitar shop don't know what you are doing, you can ruin your Roland GRs Synth a short and then reverse polarity average price $400 for a used one. For about $1300 without synthesizer access you have plenty of choices. Happy Playing ... show more
