Godin A6 Ultra HG Semi-Acoustic-Electric Guitar Black

I don't normally leave comments but with this purchase I had to make an exception. I have many guitars, Taylors, Fenders, Gibsons etc. The ability to have two outputs on one guitar for electric/acoustic is a game changer. Additionally to be able to blend both through one amp is amazing to hear. This attribute alone would have been enough for me to purchase this guitar but when combined with how well this guitar plays blows me away. My wife listens to me practice and says she's never heard any of my guitars sound like this well. Yes the acoustic really sounds like an acoustic. Sometimes I use a Bose L100 alone and sometimes I use the L100 with a tube amp. Honestly, I can't put it down and if I were ever forced to just keep one guitar this would be the one. BTW, it was perfect out of the box.

I've owned this guitar for about 6 months now. I play and practice with it a lot and have gigged a couple times with it. I bought it cuz I was tired of trying to play acoustic guitar in a loud rock band and having feedback issues drive me nuts. With the A6 ultra I was also able to add more electric sounds and electric parts to our songs so the versatility of the guitar is great. I have to do most of the singing in our band so switching between guitars (acoustic to electric) was not something I was willing to do. I run two cables from it: one to the PA and one to my amp. I tried running the humbucker output to the PA with an efffects pedal board but I could not find an acceptable electric sound with that method.... much better through an amp. With my 2-channel Vox AV60 I get two electric sounds to choose from, and my PA acoustic sound. Now THAT'S versatility. If you need both acoustic and electric on stage, it's hard to go wrong with this guitar. The acoustic sound is quite good, clean and vibrant with a nice array of onboard eq available. The electric sound is... good. I think the onboard electronics have an effect on the clean driving tone you might otherwise get from the humbucker. But the one humbucker gives me all the electric sound I need through my analog Vox AV60 b/c that amp is fairly versatile. If you *need* a specific electric guitar sound, then you may have issue with the sound you get from the single humbucker. I just need a good electric sound... not a Les Paul, Telecaster, or Strat. specific sound. I would like to have the ability to adjust intonation easily as with most electric guitars, but the bridge and saddle set up (which is just like any acoustic guitar) is probably one reason the acoustic sound is so good. Playability is very good imo., with fast action that is lower and easier to play than a regular acoustic. 4 out of 5 stars no hesitation. It's workhorse, go-to guitar for performances/gigs.

I was thrilled when I received this guitar. The color is rich. And the sound possibilities are endless. Because the guitar has two jacks, the player can plug into an acoustic and electric amps at the same time. Depending on your setup, you can use any sounds your amps can produce. I can't praise it enough.

Great guitar. I still have to learn how to use it. I'm happy with the guitar so far.

This guitar is great for those electric players that want to play and sound like an acoustic.

Purchased the Godin A6 Ultra Black from GC on-line and had it delivered free to my local GC. I took the new guitar out of the gig bag to discover that the neck humbucker was left dangling in the pickup cavity. I had to remove the strings, remove the pickup surround, reset the pickup screws, and adjust the pickup height, which took about an hour. The action was a little too high, so I also filed the TUSQ saddle down with no problem. Intonation is spot on and it stays in tune with light to heavy playing. Initially, I plugged the neck humbucker jack into a Vox AC15 amp and the acoustic under-saddle piezo jack into a Fender Acoustasonic 90 amp using just a little reverb in both amps. The sound and tones were nice, but I achieved the best jazz-like clean tones when I plugged just the combo piezo/humbucker jack into the Vox amp. The acoustic guitar tones with the piezo pickup were very realistic. I used the neck humbucker to broaden the acoustic guitar tones. The humbucker only tones were fine but not very expansive. I did notice an annoying chorus effect when I played the 1st & 2nd strings alone. Changing the original electric guitar strings to acoustic guitar phosphor bronze (.11's) helped a little. The phosphor bronze strings also sounded better in my opinion, but I'm more of an acoustic player. The gig bag is of very good quality and seems to offer adequate protection. I'll probably opt for a Godin hard shell case later. I am very pleased with the Godin A6 Ultra in terms of playability, quality, aesthetics, sound, and value.
