Godin ACS SA Synth Access Nylon Electro Acoustic, Natural, HG

£100 off the Roland GR-55 Guitar Synth if bought with this Guitar

The ACS blends classical guitar concepts with elements of solid body design. The incredibly comfortable neck from the Multiac Nylon is used here with a Maple body & Cedar top to achieve our most affordable synth access guitar ever. Although the body is chambered, response from the maple top is more typical of a solid body design than that of a traditional acoustic guitar. This design results in an instrument that is virtually free of feedback, making it easy to use even when the band gets loud.

The engine in both the ACS-SA & ACS-SA Slim includes individual transducer saddles powered by a customized preamp system from the RMCTM Pickup Company. This system not only produces superb amplified sound, but also produces a hexaphonic output through a 13-pin connector enabling direct access to RolandTM GR-Series guitar synthesizers.

"A truly beautiful instrument that bridges the gap between a traditional nylon string guitar and the sci-fi future of computers, synths and samplers. I could not have done my Flamenco A Go Go record without it!" - Steve Stevens

"When I play guitar, I need tone and quality. The fact that my ACS doesn't feedback is an added bonus. Godin Guitars give me all this and more." - Aaron Mclain (Marc Anthony Band)

The Duet Ambiance
The Multiac Duet Ambiance models are equipped with a dual source system comprised of Fishman Aura electronics (mic imaging), blended with an under-saddle transducer. These state of the art custom electronics allow the player to select between 4 individual, high-end studio microphone settings. Choose between these blendable sound imaging mics via the 4-way selector switch. The Duet Ambiance produces superior dynamic response and frequency range. Ideal guitar for players looking for a an incredible, amplified nylon string sound and feel in a live and loud band setting with virtually no feedback. There are now two Duet Ambiance instruments in the Multiac family including the Multiac Nylon Duet Ambiance and the Multiac Grand Concert Duet Ambiance.

Duet Ambiance output section
All of the Multiac Duet Ambiance guitars include a very simple ¼" (standard) output section that will work with a regular guitar cord.

The SA (synth access)
The Multiacs that use the RMC PolydriveTM system can be recognized by the individual transducer saddles under each string. This system not only produces superb amplified sound, but also produces a hexaphonic output through a 13-pin connector, which provides these guitars with direct access to RolandTM GR-Series synthesizers. The RMCTM system with synth access is featured in the Multiac Nylon SA, the Grand Concert SA, the Multiac Spectrum, ACS-SA, ACS Slim, the Multiac Fretless and the Multiac Jazz. The key to the exceptional synth tracking of the Multiac lies not just in the electronics but also in the carefully selected and balanced blend of different wood used in its design. All of the materials used are the result of extensive prototype testing to achieve the best possible combination of plugged-in guitar sound and synth tracking.

SA output section
All of the Multiac SA models are equipped with two outputs. The ¼" phone output works with a regular guitar cord. The 13-pin connector provides hexophonic (a separate signal for each string) output that is compatible with a number of devices most notably the RolandTM GR-Series guitar synths.
