Godin Left Handed Guitars
A6 Ultra
The left handed Godin A6 Ultra gives you the sound of a plugged-in acoustic guitar with the comfort of an electric size neck. When playing live, feedback is almost entirely eliminated thanks to its innovative chambered body design.
A Godin humbucker in the neck position provides a full and thick tone, and is combined with an under-saddle transducer to give a wide variety of different sounds.
The guitar also features dual outputs which allows you to combine both electric and acoustic tones for a truly huge sound.
The specially voiced custom Godin preamp section allows for independent control of both the acoustic transducer and electric humbucker volume and EQ settings.
All of these features combine to create an incredibly versatile guitar!
