Quite possibly the most futuristic "Classical" guitar on the market, Godin has made a huge stride and name for itself in these well built instruments. Hand crafted in Canada, these fine instruments quell a niche group expertly, offering an outstanding solution for electric players looking for a live nylon string. A slim neck design, and modern electronics tailor a convincing, full classical tone - that despite its a-typical looks, sonically does the trick & then some. Popular amongst classical players as well as shredders, jazzers and pop players alike, its no wonder this series from Godin has become a flagship in their product line. The Encore series is a moderately priced option equipped with custom electronics by Godin EPM electronics. This easy-to-use Blendable Dual Source System features an undersaddle transducer, as well as an acoustic soundboard transducer; both can easily be blended with one another for the players specific needs. Blend, 3 Band EQ, and Master Volume controls. It features a solid Cedar top, with a well constructed chambered maple back. A bolt on neck with a contoured heel provides easy access to high registers. The slightly narrow 48mm nut width will be more comfortable for electric players who might feature this instrument on a song or two. Although used, this example comes to us in excellent shape, with the plastic still on the back panel. The action is low and light, currently setup with D'addario XT classical strings. The electronics function as they should, and this guitar comes with high quality leather gig bag with pockets.
