Godin Multiac Spectrum SA 2015 Black

This is a 2015 Godin Multiac Spectrum SA I purchased used in 2016.   I really enjoy playing this axe, but I’m way overdue in thinning the herd. I own 2 of these - (the other one is in natural finish) but one of these needs to go.  

Standard Online Info OVERVIEW:

Provides a nearly endless spectrum of acoustic and electric tones.

The Godin Multiac Spectrum SA is an acoustic-electric guitar with a wider body design, a Seymour Duncan Lipstick pickup in the neck, Custom Godin electronics with separate tone and volume controls for the Lipstick pickup, as well as a 13-pin connector for direct control of Roland GR Series and Axon AX100 guitar synths. The top of the steel string Multiac guitar incorporates a modern variation on the classic X-brace. The guitar's slim neck and shallow body make the Multiac Spectrum SA exceptionally comfortable to play. its 2-chamber body design resists feedback.

The custom preamp on the Multiac Spectrum allows for onboard control of treble, mid, bass as well as a slider for synth volume and acoustic blend. Separate volume and tone controls for the Lipstick pickup can also be conveniently found on the side of the guitar.

Godin Multiac guitars use the RMC Polydrive system which has 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 Roland GR-Series synthesizers. A 1/4" phone output works with a regular guitar cord.

The key to the exceptional synth tracking of the Multiac guitar lies not just in the electronics but also in the carefully selected and balanced blend of different woods used in its design. All of the materials are the result of extensive prototype testing to achieve the best possible combination of plugged-in guitar sound and synth tracking.

Includes a gig bag.

In addition to the usual pictures, I’ve posted ones revealing the few finish flaws it has.  

Other than those specifically pointed out in the pix, there is only very minor surface scratching. The black finish is still very glossy.    

The flaw that appears as a line in the finish on the top of the body just off the bridge does not go all the way through the top wood. From the picture of the same spot on inside of the body you’ll easily be able to tell there is no crack in the wood.  

If you are familiar with this guitar, you’ll notice the results of the custom surgery done to move the placement of the volume and tone knobs (from the top side to the lower bout of the front of the guitar). This is in keeping with traditional electric guitar layout for these knobs, and is much easier and less cumbersome to work with.   In the place of the holes in the top side, there are 2 low profile plugs (pictured).  

All electronics still work as originally designed, including synth access.

Only very minor fret wear.  

Includes the case candy in the picture, the brass bridge pins installed (as pictured), the original white plastic bridge pins, and the black Godin gig bag.    

Comes strung with Elixir Acoustic Custom Lights 11-52.
