Nylon Tone, No Compromises — Live or in the Studio
If you've ever struggled to get a convincing nylon-string sound through the PA without fighting feedback or wrestling with a full-size classical body, the Godin Multiac Nylon ACS SA was built precisely for that situation. It puts a warm, articulate nylon voice into a thinline, single-cutaway package that feels immediately familiar to any acoustic or electric player. The result is a guitar you can actually use in loud environments without apology.
This particular example is available in the rare Light Burst finish — a specially released quilted leaftop that gives the guitar a genuinely striking visual character on top of its performance credentials. Finding one in this finish in any condition is unusual; finding one in Very Good condition is a nice bonus.
Whether you're a classical player looking to perform amplified, a songwriter wanting that silky nylon texture in a live-band setting, or a guitarist interested in MIDI and guitar synthesis via a 13-pin output, this guitar covers a lot of ground from one instrument.
This Godin Multiac Nylon ACS SA is in Very Good condition. The guitar is fully functional and will go through a full tech set up prior to shipping. It has normal play wear. Please review the photos carefully for full condition.
A Body Built to Kill Feedback
The ACS SA's chambered Silver Leaf Maple body is at the core of what makes this guitar so practical. Unlike a traditional acoustic, the chambered solid-body construction dramatically reduces the feedback that tends to plague nylon-string guitars in amplified settings. Godin designed this body specifically to give players a more solid-body response, which means you can push the volume without the squealing that would ruin an otherwise great performance.
The solid cedar top adds warmth and a slightly darker tonal character compared to spruce — cedar tends to open up quickly and respond very well at lighter picking dynamics, which suits nylon strings beautifully. The combination of cedar and chambered maple creates a focused, feedback-resistant response that holds up whether you're plugged into an amp, a PA, or directly into an audio interface.
Electronics That Mean Business
The SA in the name stands for Synth Access — and that's not just marketing. This guitar is equipped with Custom RMC electronics featuring individual transducer saddles under each string, which power both a standard 1/4" output and a 13-pin connector for direct integration with Roland GR-series guitar synths and compatible MIDI devices. Each string gets its own pickup, which gives the synth tracking system an exceptionally clean signal with accurate note recognition and minimal latency.
The onboard preamp gives you control over your amplified tone before the signal ever leaves the guitar. Whether you're running into a clean amp for a traditional acoustic-electric sound or triggering a synth rig for full MIDI production, the electronics here give you real flexibility that a standard acoustic-electric simply can't match.
A Neck That Speaks to Steel-String Players
Traditional classical guitar necks can be a significant adjustment for players accustomed to steel-string acoustics or electrics — they're typically wider and flatter in profile. The ACS SA takes a different approach. The mahogany neck features a 25.5" scale length, a 1 7/8" nut width, and a 16" fingerboard radius, all of which land in territory that feels much more natural to steel-string players. The Richlite fingerboard is dense, stable, and contributes to accurate synth tracking from the RMC pickups. With 22 frets and a generous single cutaway, upper-register access is easy.
