The Godin Multiac ACS Nylon is a professional level acoustic electric Nylon guitar with both standard 1/4" out and 13-Pin output for Roland GR® synths and other 13 pin devices. Featuring a thick Cedar top and maple back, the ACS Nylon is the perfect feedback-free nylon performance instrument.This guitar is an "SF" factory second with a couple of blemishes that can only be seen under close inspection. Our customers are very happy with Godin SF models of all types. It's factory fresh and fully guaranteed, and you get the savings!The Godin Nylon ACS Cedar is a great guitar for live performances and recording and features:Solid Cedar Top, natural semi-gloss finishMaple BodyMahogany Neck with 16" radius Richlite® composite fingerboard1.9" width at the nutCustomer RMC active electronics with 6 saddle transducers3 Band active active EQSchaller strap lock buttons6.6 poundsInclude deluxe Godin padded gig bagList price $1350Since this ACS Cedar does not use a body mic, the maple body is essentially solid although not of one piece construction. Even with a solid body the weight is only 6.6 pounds, and unplugged the volume is reasonable for practice. The thick (1/4") Cedar top is beautifully finished and has a real high-end look. The 1.9" nut width is standard fare for a Nylon guitar, and the neck profile is a relatively shallow "C", making it easy to reach around for chords or finger picking. The finish and feel of the neck is smooth and comfortable, and the Ebony fingerboard provides nice snap, and is said to provide better note tracking when using a synthesizer. The headstock is nicely detailed and gives the guitar an expensive look.Since this ACS Cedar does not use a body mic, the maple body is essentially solid although not of one piece construction.

The sound was detailed without a hint of mud or murkiness, no doubt due to individual bridge saddle transducers. The 3-band EQ seemed to offer greater range than the less expensive Nylon Encore, and even at fairly extreme settings the guitar remained composed without any boom or crackly treble that often accompanies piezo type transducers. Whether single note picking or strumming, each note seems to occupy its own space, and one can only imagine how good it would sound through a good stereo PA system. It even sounds great plugged straight into our Fender Bassman. Like most acoustic guitars, the ACS benefits from some type of aural exciter such as the BBE Sonic Maximizer (Sonic Stomp). The Sonic Maximizer is built into the BBE preamp and does wonders for clarity, imaging and a sense of separation around the notes. It's a must-have for acoustic electrics. The 13-pin Roland compatible-synth output transforms the ACS from mere electrified nylon to personal orchestra. Whether it's piano, saxophone or other synthesized tone, the ability to add an additional instrument and even blend it with the nylon sound makes the ACS Nylon a killer tool for solo performers. Whether you use the synthesizer or not, the natural sounding tone, comfortable fit, and easy playability make the Godin ACS Nylon a totally satisfying high quality instrument.
