Features and functionality

  • The 13 PIN MIDI output powers the piezo, eliminating the need for a 9V battery when using this output.

    Source
  • The 13 PIN output merges both pickups, potentially providing a usable signal for the GI20's Guitar output.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Leaving the guitar cable plugged in can drain the 9V battery, as the circuit activates when the cable is inserted.

    Source
  • Check for a sprung 9V battery connector, which may cause connection issues.

    Source

User experience

  • Some owners report hum issues with the lipstick pickup, contrary to Godin's hum-free design claim.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • A GK pickup can be mounted on a Godin A6 using adhesive tape about an inch from the bridge without screws, requiring careful string changes.

    Source

Use cases and applications

Great guitar!

As a paraplegic guitarist, I am having to find a way to use the (optional) synnth (which I've not yet purchased for the Godin), but I have heard it and it sounds great!

jdberrio

Great for Swing Manouche playing.

Easy on the fingers. Always in tune, fast neck and great action. Best by test!

joel_aguilar

Such a great acoustic.

Very nice sound, straight to the amp or PA.

Aside from his Eric Clapton signature model Bellezza Nera, Roger Waters used the Godin Multiac Spectrum SA steel string guitar during The Wall Live tour (2010 - 2012). As Roger said "I love this guitar. I use it live on Hey You." Unfortunately, this song is entirely played behind the wall so we cannot see him actualy playing it. Hey You is notable for using a high strung "Nashville" tuning so perhaps this is how Roger's Godin is tuned.

He also uses the nylon string Godin Multiac ACS-SA on Good Bye Blue Sky. The natural high-gloss version of this guitar can be seen in the hands of G. E. Smith and David Kilminster when performing Is There Anybody Out There.

Godin Multiac Spectrum SA features a mahogany body design, ebony fingerboard, Seymour Duncan Lipstick pickup in the neck, custom Godin electronics along with separate tone and volume controls for the Lipstick pickup, as well as 13-pin capabilities for computer & synth access. Roger's guitar has a Black High-Gloss color.

Godin Multiac ACS-SA features a chambered maple body, cedar top, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard. The engine includes individual transducer saddles powered by a customized preamp system from the RMC Pickup Company. This system produces a hexaphonic output through a 13-pin connector enabling direct access to Roland GR-Series guitar synthesizers.
