Very nice guitar
My search for a nylon crossover has been a long and expensive one. After returning some and selling some (with a loss of course) guitars I opted for this Godin for a couple of reasons: it met my requirement in terms of neck width at 50.8mm. It was also listed as a dual source instrument, ie there was a blend of a piezo pickup and a condenser mic.
When I received my guitar this wasn't the case however. I emailed Godin and got confirmation that the dual source system had been replaced by LR Baggs VTC Element which is an undersaddle piezo pickup only. Not thrilled by that, but I guess Godin wouldn't have made the change if it wasn't an improvement. Too bad Thomann's website wasn't up to date, but not too big a deal.
The guitar is beautiful - very nice wood, fretwork is excellent. It smells very nice too. :)
The setup wasn't too good however, not to my tastes anyway. I know many manufacturers like to play it on the safe side, but this one needed both a truss rod tweak to straighten the neck a little as well as a little material shaved off the saddle.
Initially the g-string seemed too loud, especially plugged in, but I think the saddle adjustment took care of most of that.
The guitar does not come with a case. I bought a Gator ABS case for classical guitar that was a perfect fit. Very lightweight, too.
While you can tell that the guitar is small and doesn't sound quite as full as a full size classical guitar it does sound surprisingly full and loud for its slim body size.
