Godin A6 Ultra Electric Guitar, Natu ral Semi-Gloss - Acoustic Guitar

This is an excellent practice, Godin stepping stone, guitar.The A6 is at the lower end of the Godin range, kind of like their ‘Squire’ equivalent.With only minor adjustments to the neck, that you can do yourself if you have average wood working skills, you can easily reach all the frets at the high end.The battery lasts a long time compared to some of the more high end Godins, months in fact!As a next to your sofa guitar it’s comfy light and the sound is detailed enough to find all the sweet spots.Plugged in... well it doesn’t have individual piezo’s, and the body is very thin so..... you’re not going to record with it, you may get away with a live performance depending on your amp.I’m sure if you are a novice to mid skilled player you will LOVE this guitar, that will see you spending a bit more to get something from their professional range.Gripes? They don’t come with locking tuners, which stabilise the tuning issues. but then these are fairly cheap and easy to fit.The plastic bridge pins are not great, you can swap them out for powerpins, this as when you break a string it will break on the saddle, which means that you have a small tail poking out, that you can grab with needle nose pliers. If you don’t hold on to it, it falls into the body cavity, with then a six screw plate to undo to go hunt it out.I had a tail lodge in my output jack, it was crackling but I eventually found it., power pins stop that and also stops the strings from breaking so often.You also need to check your guitar thoroughly as Godin do not deal with warranty issues, you have to take it back to the place you bought it, Godin do not have a customer service line, only a generic contact that may or may not reply.So, it’s light weight, a great guitar to sit by your sofa to pick up at will, it plays like an electric guitar. A GREAT introduction to the Godin line.
