Godin Guitars Multiac Nylon Encore SG with Bag

I own a Godin Fifth Avenue electric and wanted a nylon string guitar with the same neck as the 5th Avenue. The Encore fits that bill. Very fine construction with high quality materials. Sounds great plugged in and is quite usable unplugged although not loud. One thing I notice is that it does pickup right hand nail noise if the volume is set high plugged in. I do love Robert Godin's guitars. They are a quality instrument at a reasonable price.

Just got this strange looking thing from L&M Nanaimo about a week+ ago. It was used instrument in immaculate condition. Someone bought it and returned after a few days ('cause it didn't meet his expectations in "metal departament" Lol...) Well..., the guy lost couple of hundred bucks on that deal and I've saved the equal amount. Long story short, my old (and cheap) acoustic, nylon strings specimen, went straight to its case (most likely never to leave it again), and the Godin is proudly showing off its unique beauty on the stand. Sounds amazing, playing it is a joy (Godin's neck shape & finish is unparalleled at this price point). Thank you L&M Nanaimo for leading me to this barely used one (even though you guys had some brand new in stock.) I'm totally sold on 100% Canadian made Godins. The next one is coming home in about two weeks time and..., I'm afraid to say..., it might not be the end of it. Play what you wish, I love my newest, capitol "G" Quebecquoi discovery.

Smaller body, solid but lightweight, confortable to hold, plus the nylon strings and neck design give great playability in any location. Play sans amp for practise because of chambered body and with amp tone is sweet especially in the middle register inside strings and. Tuners hold very well Fingerboard is roomy and string spacing is great for fingerstyle making it easy to get around the neck The only 'small' pick is the outer strings are too easily pushed over the side of the neck while playing. Overall a gem of crossover from steel.

This guitar gives you everything you would want in a cross-over nylon. The 1 7/8 nut width and 16 inch fretboard radius is very comfortable coming from the steel-string world. The electonics are good, the styling in tasteful, and the solid cedar top is beautiful. Plugged in the sound is true and clean, an you can even play it unplugged and hear what you're doing because of the chambered body. Highly recommended.
