Godin ACS Nylon Steve Stevens 25th Anniversary Signature
Video Summary
Prepare yourselves, shredders and sonic explorers, because Steve Stevens, the undisputed architect of audacious guitar work, is back to unleash a truly groundbreaking instrument: the Godin Signature Steve Stevens Multiac. A testament to a legendary 30-year partnership, this isn't just another nylon string; it's a meticulously crafted weapon for dynamic performance.
Stevens has poured his inimitable vision into every detail. Forget delicate classical necks – this beast boasts a striking high-gloss purple neck, a first for Godin's nylon string lineup, perfectly matching the gloss finish. But the real magic lies beneath: a custom-calibrated piezo pickup system and new preamp that absolutely REFUSES to distort, even under Stevens' famously aggressive attack. This is pure, unadulterated high-fidelity nylon tone, designed to translate the nuanced dynamics of a Ramirez or Pedro de Miguel directly to your audience, without a hint of synthetic compromise.
And for the synth warriors, the Multiac is a dream. Utilizing a standard Roland multi-pin connector, it seamlessly integrates with the GR-33 (a vintage steal at $200!) or the latest Boss GM-800. Stevens himself emphasizes that nylon strings, devoid of overtones, provide the most flawless synth tracking imaginable, meaning zero compromise to your playing technique. With intuitive onboard controls for both guitar and synth, including a mid-shift button for sculpting your amplified voice, this Godin Multiac is a professional-grade instrument that refuses to be pigeonholed. It's a dynamic, versatile, and utterly essential tool for any guitarist pushing the boundaries of their sound.
