Multiac Jazz
This is one model that transcends both the Multiac and Signature series of Godin guitars. At first
glance the Jazz has a familiar look with its single cutaway chambered body
adorned with traditional F-holes and the Godin GJN1 humbucker at the top of
the fingerboard. However the slotted headstock and the preamp controls on
the upper bout may be the first clues towards discovering that this isn't
your average jazz guitar. The standard Jazz comes with a triple-A-grade flame
maple top.
Although
capable of producing classic jazz guitar sounds courtesy of the Godin GJN1
humbucking pickup, the Jazz has the power to take you far beyond traditional
jazz guitar sounds. Each saddle in the bridge is actually an independent transducer,
which is supported by an on-board preamp and graphic EQ. Designed specifically
for the Jazz, this system opens up a world of new sonic possibilities for
all players. The crystalline sounds produced by this system can be used on
their own, or very effectively in combination with the neck position pickup.
A small dose of the bridge output can be combined with the mellow sound of
the GJN1 to produce added note definition so often missing in traditional
archtop guitar sounds. The Multiac Jazz also includes hexaphonic output from
a 13-pin connector, which provides direct access to RolandTM GR-Series synthesizers,
and the various V-Guitar products that RolandTM has developed around the same
13-pin interface.
