While famous as a tonewood for the back and sides of acoustic guitars, rosewood is typically not used for tops. However on the Godin ACS Rosewood, the varied light and dark shadings of the grain look really neat, giving the guitar a custom-shop appearance. Sonically, rosewood sounds more percussive and clean than the more mellow cedar used on the standard ACS guitars. It's not a necessarily brighter, but the notes are more defined. The standard 1.9" nut width will feel totally familiar to nylon players, 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 gloss finished headstock is nicely detailed, and is in keeping with the overall high end appearance of the guitar.

We've become accustomed to testing out many acoustic guitars through our reissue Fender Bassman Ltd. Four 10" speakers and a hi-fi derived circuit actually makes for a great acoustic or dual purpose amplifier. As with all ACS guitars, the string-to-string clarity is very good, and the combination of ebony fingerboard and rosewood top results in a well-defined sound that is very responsive to playing style. The 3-band EQ section of the ACS Nylon is quite broad, and while dialing a great tone is a snap, the wide boost/cut range is there should you need it. There is also a slider switch to shift the center frequency of the midrange slider.

Whether single note picking or strumming, the sound is very natural, with no piezo "quack" or crackle. Like many Godin thin-line acoustic electrics, the ACS makes a great argument for never bringing a true acoustic to a gig. Unless you must be seen holding a true acoustic, leave it home. And as with most acoustic guitars, we heartily recommend some type of aural exciter such as the BBE Sonic Maximizer (Sonic Stomp). The Sonic Maximizer circuitry does wonders for clarity, imaging and a sense of separation around the notes. It's a must-have for acoustic electrics.

Even if you don't use the 13-pin output -- which we were not equipped to test -- the Nylon ACS has a lot to offer. For both live performances and recording, the Godin ACS Nylon is a totally satisfying high quality instrument.
