The "Slim" in ACS Slim refers to the 1.715″ nut width, which is a mere 16th of an inch wider than the nut width on Godin's standard electric guitars. If you do most of your playing on a guitar with a fairly narrow neck (most solid body electric guitars) this is the ACS-SA for you.
The slim neck of this guitar along with Godin's Ergocut shaping technique and 16″ fingerboard radius make for a very easy transition for steel string guitar players looking to integrate nylon string guitar sounds into their music.
Aside from the new neck, the ACS-SA Slim shares all of the same features that have made the ACS-SA an industry standard. The chambered silver leaf maple body and cedar top result in an instrument that is virtually free of feedback, making it easy to use even in loud stage situations.
The ACS blends classical guitar concepts with elements of solid body design. The incredibly comfortable neck of the Multiac ACS, combined with a Maple body & Cedar top, contribute to making it Godin's most affordable synth access guitar ever. Although the body is chambered, the response from the cedar top is more typical of a solid body design than a traditional acoustic guitar. This design results in an instrument that is virtually free of feedback, making it easy to use even when the band gets loud.
The engine in the ACS and ACS Slim includes individual transducer saddles powered by a customized preamp system by LR Baggs™. This system not only produces superb amplified sound, but also produces a hexaphonic output through a 13-pin connector enabling direct access to Roland GR-Series guitar synthesizers.
