Godin Multiac Nylon Fretless ACS SA Partcaster Midi Piezo Synth Access

For sale is a one and only Godin branded fretless guitar with nylon strings.

As confirmed to me by Godin by serial number the neck is from a 2006 Godin Nylon Fretless guitar, which originally had a natural finish with Solid Spruce Top. The body is an unidentified original Godin from the ACS series with Multiac RMC hexaphonic pickup SA electronics with flame maple top. The photos do not do justice to its honeyed beauty. In natural light, top is more chocolate brown.

Both of these models had the same way of mounting the neck in the body. They were therefore easily interchangeable. The main difference between the two was that the Nylon model had a deeper body with resonance chambers. The ACS offered a nicer top and is acoustically quieter (which is a big advantage if you're just learning to play a fretless guitar ;).

All the electronics are the same in both models. I don't know who made this modification or why. The guitar was bought by me in Croatia from second hand. The seller didn't know this either. He had supposedly already bought one himself. What he did know, however, was that a professional luthier had revised the shape of this neck. It had been slimmed down and finished with natural oil. It is also likely that tuners were replaced in this guitar at that time, as I have never seen Godin use the single tuners visible in the photos. These tuners are sensational and the neck is now a racer. The modification has not affected the stability of the neck in the slightest (I have never had to adjust it), but the playing comfort has definitely improved. The neck now has a D profile and at the 12th fret is about 19 mm thick. I love Godin guitars and basses. I have a few of them, but if I had to complain about anything, it was always their old-school approach to neck shapes that bothered me. This guitar has no such problems. It will definitely be the choice of modern fast guitar lovers.

The guitar offers both a piezo signal and a 13 pin Synth Access output. Everything works properly. The signal on the saddles is even. Very low string action with beautifully sounding gentle musical buzz (mwahh) of the empty 2 lowest bass strings (Indian instrument style).

Used instrument - 100% in working order. Normal signs of use. Ebony fretboard is in nice condition.
The only thing it would need are new strings.

I'm parting with this instrument with real regret. He was my first professional fretless guitar. However, I do still have a Godin XTSA fretless with metal strings with piezo and MIDI, and I've just bought a Godin Glissentar with duplicated nylon strings, so for someone who is not a guitarist, that's as far as it goes. So I'm looking for a new home for my old baby.

The instrument doesn't come with the original gigbag. However, I will send it well protected with bubble wrap and styrofoam, in the original Godin carton after my new Glissentar.

Together with Godin, I can sell a Roland GI20 with a 13 pin cable at a good price. This equipment will enable you to use the Synth Access function of this guitar. If you are really interested, ask for an offer.
