Description
This is the xtSA model from Godin. The xtSA is the most affordable guitar offered by Godin that features a 3 voice design. The xtSA features an H/S/H electric pickup configuration, a piezo based acoustic pickup and preamp system and a 13 pin output for hooking it up to a compatible guitar synth. The xtSA is an incredibly versatile guitar that can be hooked up to a variety of amps from electric to acoustic through 3 independent outputs, or you can mix the acoustic and electric sounds onboard the guitar to send the signal through one amp. Of course, you can simply plug the guitar into a great amp, turn up the volume and play.
The xtSA is an professional level guitar offering precise and reliable playability and outstanding build quality. The “C” shape neck has a great feel with medium profile and a relatively flat radius. The sound from the "acoustic" output is lively and percussive and can be a very useful voice to use on its own through an acoustic amp or DI, or blended in with the magnetic pickups. The electric pickups are outstanding and the H/S/H configuration is quite versatile offering wide range of tones from mellow jazz to high gain rock.
When it comes to features and quality, you'll be hard pressed to find a better value then the xtSA. The guitar is very similar to Godin's high end synth access guitar the LGXT but has a flat top and a different magnetic pickup configuration. The RMC system Godin utilizes in their synth access models is widely considered to be the best for tracking, sensitivity, and integration into the guitars existing electronics.
