Godin A8 Mandolin
July 23, 2000
Godin Guitars has added the A8 mandolin to the popular A-Series line of acoustic/electric instruments. The A8 mixes traditional tone woods with modern design concepts and electronics.
The mahogany neck features an ebony fingerboard and sits in a deep tight pocket in the two-chamber body. The body is routed from a solid block of mahogany and supports a solid spruce top.
The top is voiced with a unique combination of X and fan bracing that produces exceptional sound and projection even when played acoustically. But plugged in is where the A8 truly excels. The individual RMC saddle transducers run through an RMC preamp voiced specifically for the A8.
The A8 is available in two colors, Natural with a satin finish or, Cognac Burst with a high gloss finish. For more information, visit their web site at www.godinguitars.com. |
