The Godin Multiac Spectrum is their top line steel-string member of their esteemed acoustic-electric series. It's equipped with the latest custom electronics, a Seymour Duncan lipstick pickup and a 13 pin synth access, giving it three distinct voices and a multitude of tone shaping capabilities. Whatever the job may be, the Multiac Spectrum can help you get it done in style.
The Godin Multiac Spectrum is a great guitar for live performances and recording and features:Solid spruce topChambered mahogany bodyMahogany Neck with 16" radius with Richlite® fingerboard25.5" scale with 1.71" width at the nutSeymour Duncan lipstick pickup with separate volume and tone controlsCustom RMC electronics 13-pin Synth Access output
3 Band active EQDual 1/4" output jacks (acoustic jack only combines both sources)
Schaller strap lock buttonsIncludes deluxe Godin padded gig bagList Price: $1895The Multiac Spectrum is a sophisticated looking guitar with a straight grained spruce top, nicely detailed binding, and mahogany back. Even the access panels for the electronics are wood veneer instead of the usual plastic. Like all Multiac guitars the playability is first rate, and for what is essentially an acoustic guitar, the action is very comfortable. This is a guitar you can gig with all evening long, and players used to electric guitars will not find the Multiac a chore or fatiguing. The Multiac Spectrum has 3 separate outputs: Neck pickup, Bridge piezo, and 13-pin Synth. You can run all three separately through different amplification systems, or you can combine and blend the neck and bridge outputs by plugging only into the acoustic bridge jack. The synth output is always through its dedicated 13-pin output, and you can balance the volume between that and the other outputs by using the slider closest to the neck.To see how it sounded we tested the Spectrum through our master of clean tone, the Fender Bassman. Unlike the lower priced A6 line, the Spectrum uses a spruce top, and has much larger chambered body with bracing, so the sound is noticeably more brilliant and expansive. The bridge pickup has a very natural acoustic tone with sparkling high end, and smooth midrange content. We've always like the sound of the RMC piezo bridge saddle system, and it truly lacks any of the crackly, quacky tone associated with piezo systems. There are fancier systems on the market, but the RMC system is remarkably effective. The Seymour Duncan lipstick pickup by itself is a nice jazz sound. It's warm but not too wobbly and it enhances the low end attack. The real fun begins when you start blending in the bridge pickup. The lipstick pickup helps to fill out the overall acoustic tone and adds warmth and roundness to the blend. As with the Godin A6, we find the most convincing acoustic tones are really a blend of the two pickups. Overall, the pickup combination is well balanced and the controls make it possible to navigate completely different genres with a single slider. While we did not test the synth on this guitar, we have tried it on other Godin models like the xTSA. The tracking is superb and it is an essential tool for today's solo artists or anyone who wants to add an extra dimension to their music. As with other Godin synth models, you can blend the natural guitar tone with the synth sounds to create a multi-layered musical soundscape.In the end, the Godin Multiac Spectrum is a top shelf performance and recording instrument. It sings like an acoustic, plays like an electric and has the technology for a modern musician. Whether you are playing to a coffee shop, a stadium, or in Pro-Tools, the Multiac Spectrum can give you the best of many worlds. We are an authorized Godin dealer and this is a new guitar with all tags, tools, paperwork and certificates. We have over 25 Godin guitars stock at all times, and please feel free to browse our other listings, or contact us for delivery time and availability on other Godin models.
