Control your synths directly and integrate nylon string guitar sounds into your music.

The 'Slim' in this Godin ACS-SA nylon string guitar's moniker refers to the 1.715" neck width at the nut—a mere 16th of an inch wider than Godin's standard electric guitar nut width. If you do most of your playing on a guitar with a fairly narrow neck (such as most solidbody electric guitars) this is the ACS-SA guitar for you. The slim neck of the Godin ACS-SA Slim guitar along with the Ergocut shaping technique and 16" fingerboard radius provide for a very easy transition for steel string guitar players looking to integrate nylon string guitar sounds into their music. Aside from the new neck, the ACS-SA Slim shares all of the same features that have made the Godin ACS-SA nylon string guitar an industry standard. The chambered, silverleaf maple body with cedar top results in a guitar that is virtually free of feedback, making it easy to use even in loud stage situations.

I got the black pearl. It's Beautiful and Great-playing. I even use it with distortion for some interesting fingerstyle riffs and single note playing. It's just a very well made instrument. Intonation, action, looks--all Perfect.

The one flaw

I purchased this guitar for the slim neck and the nylon strings. My left hand suffers from arthritis and the playability is great. I perform in nursing homes and assisted living facilities and the sound had been highly praised. The one problem is the inadequate pegs for a guitar strap. My strap slipped off one peg and was damaged when it hit the floor.

Well, first the bad - the when it arrived in the box, it looked great, but under closer inspection, there were some flaws: the action was EXTREMELY HIGH and had to be lowered ( i suppose this is to be expected though), and there were some nicks and scratches on the body and neck. on the 14th fret, there was a small dent where the finish had broken. That concludes the bad part. Now, i am a blues jazz guitarist, whose previous guitar had a very very slim neck. I was very happy to discover that the transition between my old guitar and this was very fluid and easy. This guitar plays like a dream, and also sounds great, even through a non-acoustic amplifier (although it does sound better through an acoustic amp). The synth access is really fun too, but buying the separate items necessary to use this can be annoying, as they are expensive.

Nylon like an electric

Slim neck. Big fingers beware. BUT, if you arre used to elecric and want to go nylon, try this out. I've tried several and the sound seems to vary, if you get a "good one" you'll be pleased. Nice sound and VERY playable, someone thought through the ergonomics. Would be good for stage work. The shape is polarizing, I happen to like the looks of it, others don't.

I have owned and used this instrument now for about three months and have found it to be of the utmost quality and craftmanship. If you are looking for a true electrified classical guitar sound this is not for you. If you are looking for a nylon string guitar that plays with the ease of a solid body electric, has a fantastic plugged in sound of its own and has top notch synth access capabilities, this is the ticket. I'm amazed at the ease of playing all the way up the neck. Those with larger fingers may want to consider the wider neck profile, but I prefer the narrow for easy access for soloing up and down the neck. All and all a beautiful instrument.
