The latest addition to Godin’s Multiac range is the wordily titled Grand Concert Duet Ambiance. To interpret that, it’s a full nut width (51mm) nylonstring with 12-frets to the body – ideal then in theory for players used to the feel of a classical guitar. Typically well made, it is however a lot heavier than a good concert classic and despite the relatively thinline body (60mm) that Tele-like upper shoulder does seem to add to a more electric like bulk. The neck also, while very nicely shaped, has a textured satin finish that feels rather cheap and, on this neck style, we’d prefer a more regular uncambered fretboard.
