Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

Godin isn't your typical guitar builder and the A6 Ultra is a fantastic guitar that feels both familiar and out of this world at the same time! The crossover nature of this instrument is immediately apparent with a very light chambered body and neck that feels more electric than acoustic/classical and I must say that acoustically playing this guitar on the couch is a blast and the clarity you get mixed with the effortless playability is very welcome. Electronically you've got both a humbucker and UST, so whether you want a more acoustic or electric tone or a blend of both is completely up to you and easy to adjust on the fly! If you want a guitar that will get you thinking differently about your tone and feel great while doing it then you should consider the A6 Ultra from Godin!

From Godin Guitars

The A6 Ultra continues with the innovative concepts found in all Godin A-series guitars, such as combining amazing plugged-in acoustic sound with the feel of an electric neck, along with a chambered body design that virtually eliminates feedback in live & loud settings. These features stand true and better than ever in the A6 Ultra with the added “Oomph!” and full tone of a Godin humbucker in the neck position, along with an under-saddle transducer, dual outputs (acoustic and electric) that combine for a huge sound and a Custom Godin preamp section voiced specifically for the A6 Ultra. This preamp section gives a player the chance to control 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 via both outputs, controlling your tone is at the tip of your fingers. And the A6 Ultra delivers in all styles of music from jazz to rock to country and not to mention a great blues slide guitar.
