The Godin A6 Ultra Semi-Acousti-Electric guitar offers the innovative concepts found in all Godin A-series guitars. You get plugged-in acoustic sound with the feel of an electric guitar neck, along with a chambered body that virtually eliminates feedback in live and loud settings.
The Godin A6 Ultra guitar adds "oomph" and full tone with a Godin humbucker pickup in the neck position. Other enhancements include an under-saddle transducer, dual outputs (acoustic and electric) that combine for huge stereo sound and a Custom Godin preamp voiced specifically for the A6 Ultra. The preamp gives guitarists control of their tone via sliders for acoustic volume, treble, mid, bass and independent controls for the electric humbucker volume, treble and bass.
Whether plugging into the single acoustic mix or in stereo (via both outputs), controlling your tone is at the tip of your fingers. And the Godin A6 Ultra guitar delivers in all styles of music from jazz to rock to country as well as being a great blues slide guitar.
Other appointments on the Godin A6 Ultra guitar include a solid cedar top, a 2-chambered silver leaf maple body, semi-gloss mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, and the comfortable feel of an ergocut back.

After submitting my review I had a realization. Most acoustic/electric hybrids come from the mindset of taking an acoustic guitar and electrify it. Godin takes an electric guitar and "acoustify" it. What fun to play!
Many guitars are copies of classic designs. My Godin Velocity, for instance is very Strat-like-- but this beauty is unique. I wanted an acoustic sound with the ability to plug into my looper. As a long time electric player I find acoustics to be chunky and uncomfortable to play. The A6 is a great answer to these issues.
The A6 looks like a thick Tele so I imagine heft similar to my Tele when I pick her up. Chambered body however makes the instrument incredibly light weight. It also makes it very resonant. I discovered the hard way with an early morning headphone session. I can slap on the phones with my slab guitars or even my semi-hollow and melt my frontal lobes
The construction and material quality of the guitar are flawless. The woods are lovingly selected and crafted with care. The electronics work well and with tweaking you can dial in acoustic tones, hollow-body sounds and some twangy electric sounds. The instrument isn't really designed for a thick heavy distorted sound-- but what do you want from an acoustic-electric hybrid?
The instrument is very comfortable and easy to play. They are really hard to find so it was a leap of faith to order the guitar blind but I have no regrets.
My only gripe is the understated off-center fret markers take some getting used to for an old dog with bifocals!
I would strongly recommend this or any other guitar made by Godin.
First, a note. Godin says in its literature that this guitar sounds best if you use two separate amps. It does have two radically different pickup systems, the humbucker, which is quite hot, and the piezo. It really helps if you have good headroom on your input.
That said, I use an old Crate acoustic amp, going through the guitar input for the bridge pickup, and the spare channel for the 'bucker, and I get a good sound, or rather several good sounds.
For a relatively inexpensive guitar, this thing is beautifully made, very clean. I have had no problems with the tuners, stability, or electronics.
Now, very subjectively, I really like the neck on this thing. It has nice room for finger style stuff, and yet I can play leads with ease, and it has 22 frets! Not bad for a sort of acoustic thingy.
So, it is an odd bird, but it has versatility. I would gladly play it as a solo for coffeehouse kind of stuff, jazzy kinds of things, adding an acoustic rhythm sound in a band setting. I think you should play one before deciding, but it's worth a look.
