Godin LGX-SA Solid Body 3-Voice Electric Guitar Trans Blue AAA

Solid Body 3-voice Electric GuitarAmazon.comThe flagship of the Godin Signature series takes all of the features of the LG Signature and adds two voices to create a three-voice masterpiece. The custom RMC system provides acoustic guitar sound and 13-pin output for synth/computer access. The result--sonic potential that is sure to spark your imagination in a seriously handsome guitar.The body of the LGX-SA is made from a blend of two tonewoods--a mahogany body capped with a figured maple carved top. The flamed maple adds focus to the mahogany tone, and of course it looks great in a transparent finish.Honduras Mahogany has a long history as the tonewood of choice for acoustic guitar necks. The same properties that give mahogany its appeal in an acoustic guitar--namely a warm harmonically rich sound--have a similar effect in a solid body electric guitar.The ebony fingerboard on the LGX-SA not only contributes to a more focused sound, but also helps to optimize the guitar's synth tracking capabilities.The angle of the neck attachment--called pitch--has a huge impact on sound. A slight tilt forward will cause the guitar to sound boomy, a slight tilt backwards can make the guitar sound tinny. Equally important is the fit of the neck into the body. Godin guitars are renowned for tight-fitting neck attachments that support excellent neck/body energy transfer and precise neck pitch.Every Godin neck features an Ergocut shaping technique which bevels the edges of the fingerboard and frets back in towards the center of the fingerboard, providing an extremely comfortable worn-in feel.The precision Tusq nut is made with Graph Tech's "man made ivory," which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and is impregnated with Teflon to improve the tuning performance of your guitar. Play as hard as you want, bend a few steps, and your strings glide back into tune. The highly resonant material also means you'll get crystal-clear, bell-like high end, big open lows, and an overall sustain increase.The LGX-SA delivers electric sounds via 2 Seymour Duncan humbucker pick-ups SH II jazz in the neck and a Custom III in the bridge thanks to a special 5-way switch set-up, extra meaty humbucker tones co-exist with glassy single coil sounds in the second and forth position.Turn down the electric volume and raise the volume on the transducer saddles and the LGX-SA becomes an incredibly authentic-sounding 'acoustic' guitar. The acoustic voice of the LGX-SA 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 third voice on the LGX-SA 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.Body: MahoganyTop: Carved Figured MapleNeck: MahoganyFingerboard: EbonyFrets: 22 Medium NickelTop Nut: Tusq by GraphtechNut width: 1 11/16"Scale: 25 1/2"Pickups: Seymour Duncan SH II Jazz Neck and Custom III BridgeBridge: Hexophonic transducers and Custom Godin PreampControls: Five-Way Switch, Volume, ToneAcoustic Preamp Controls: Volume, Treble, Mid-Range and BassSynth Controls: Three-Way Switch, Assignable Momentary SwitchOutputs: 1/4-Inch Standard, 13-Pin Connector for Hexaphonic OutputTuners: Godin High Ratio Sealed TunersFinish: Natural Mahogany
