The A series offers instruments that fully reflect Godin's philosophy - atypical models of hybrid electroacoustic instruments with unusual sound possibilities and interesting design. The advantage of these instruments is that they combine the sound of acoustic guitars or basses, the comfort of playing electric instruments and often much more. And as is usual with Godin, precision craftsmanship, the use of quality materials and great sound are a given.
Body and neck
The body of this instrument is made of chambered silver-leaf maple with a solid cedar top, which makes the sound very natural, colourful, balanced and lively. The bolted neck is made of mahogany and features a rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets. As far as technical information is concerned, the gauge is 648 millimeters, the fingerboard radius is 16 inches, and the width of the zero fret is 42.8 millimeters.
Sensors and electronics
Godin has used a dual sound pickup system here. Firstly, it is an underdrive piezo pickup, which is complemented by a specially developed preamplifier with volume control and 3-band equalizer. The second way is a neck-mounted humbucker, designated as the Godin GHN1, which also features volume control and a 2-band EQ. Two outputs are also used, one for a pure electric signal and the other for an acoustic mix.
Hardware
The instrument's fingerboard is made of rosewood, as is the fingerboard, while the strings on the other side lead into high-quality tuning machines.
The Godin A6 Ultra is perhaps a bit of an atypical instrument, which makes it offer unprecedented possibilities. Don't hesitate to give it a try!
