Godin XTSA Electric Guitar - Lightburst High-Gloss

A jack-of-all-trades, and master of all of them, the xtSAâs incredible sound power begins with three distinct voices: electric guitar, acoustic guitar and synth controller. The xtSA delivers big time electric sounds via the Godin humbucker-single-humbucker pickup configuration and thanks to a special 5-way switch setup extra meaty humbucker tones co-exist with glassy split-coil sounds in the second and forth position. Turn down the electric output and raise the volume on the RMC transducer saddles and the xtSA becomes an incredibly authentic-sounding âacousticâ guitar. The acoustic voice of the xtSA is enhanced by an onboard preamp with a three-way graphic EQ. The two outputs are set up so that the electric and acoustic voices can be blended in the guitar using a single patch cord or at the amp/mixer using both outputs. The icing on the xtSA cake comes in the form of its synth tracking, which simply put, is the best in the business. As with all of Godin synth-ready instruments, a built-in 13-pin connector provides direct access to all Roland GR-Series synths as well as most other 13-pin devices.All of this sound power would be a lot less interesting if the guitar didnât feel great and great is exactly how the xtSA feels thanks to the same 25 1/2â scale, mahogany neck used on the Godin flagship LGX-SA guitar. The Richlite fingerboard is shaped with Godinâs ergocut technique and equipped with medium jumbo frets. The body is made from a silverleaf maple center with poplar wings and decorated with a figured maple veneer on top or the highly figured KOA wood top on the Natural KOA model.
