I struggled looking for the right sound for years. I play nylon strings, but few of the electric acoustics sounded right. Most either boomed or fed back and did not have the sweetness of a classical. However, once I played the Godin, I had to have one. At first I used it with a synth to keep from sounding repetitious or dull as a soloist. However, after awhile I realized that was unnecessary. The sound of the Godin is strong, sweet, yet never harsh. It "cuts" better than any guitar I have ever played. Meaning it does not take as much volume to be heard. Eight years later I am still playing it and still receiving compliments at outdoor festivals, Mexican restaurants, and small venue jazz fests on the beautiful sound of the guitar. The neck is a little narrower than a standard classical so I always practice on it a day or two before a gig. The tone is even all up and down the neck. I have never had an electronic problem or warpage, and have played the guitar on both continents. It does require a battery, so always have a back up. Don't leave the cord plugged in as I think this turns on the circuitry and reduces battery life.

This is an excellent nylon-string electric -- the best I've found short of a custom Kirk Sand for 4x the price. Sound and playability are superb. It's a heavy guitar, but get a wide strap because it's worth the weight.

The neck is shaped like an electric guitar neck, only wider. Not the typical "2x4 with frets" that you find on most classicals. It has a radiused fingerboard and a thin profile -- very fast & comfortable to play. Even if you'll never ever use the synth, get the Synth Access model. I played this one and the Multiac Duet (same guitar with a Baggs pickup) back to back; IMO the pickup in this guitar has much better tone and clarity.

Speaking of synth, the hex pickup in this guitar is better than most. Guitar synths are a mixed bag, and most of the limitations are caused by the synth units rather than the pickup. That said -- this guitar tracks somewhat better than a Roland-Ready Strat with my GR-30 synth.

If you like to play nylon-string and you don't care about whether your guitar looks "traditional," this is a great choice.
