The Godin Etude's solid cedar top is one that is typically used for classical guitars, so you can relax knowing it has been universally relied upon. Cedar is full of character and offers stunning overtones that make it perfect for intricate picking techniques. Each and every note will glisten and ring out clearly.
The beauty of cedar is that it focuses scrupulously on the quality of sound without having overpowering volume, making it ideal for studio recordings or intimate gigs. The option of onboard electronics allows you to plug in and project this lavish sound when in a more spacious environment, whilst retaining that sought-after natural feel of a classical acoustic.
Crafted with Canadian wild cherry, this guitar's back and sides incorporate the bright attack of maple and the resonance of mahogany, resulting in a beautifully balanced tone. It begs the tailoring of your virtuosic skill and its versatility means every note across the frequency range is treated with the same potency.
Attached to such a tonally rich body is a neck made from the ultimate robust wood. Mahogany is exceptionally strong and durable - necessary attributes for the thinnest part of your guitar! It generates a warm and punchy tone that has emphasis on mid range frequencies. Lending itself to shining overtones, mahogany's wonderful resonance is a compelling feature that creates an immersive experience for both you and your listeners.
A charming complement to the warmth of the mahogany neck, a ravishing rosewood fretboard brings a balanced tone that allows for pronounced low and high frequencies. Its balance comes from the way it evens out such frequencies to avoid any piercing notes, so you needn't worry about any overpowering frequencies or notes that sound out of place. As with wild cherry, rosewood is a versatile tonewood, meaning you can manipulate it beautifully whilst being able to fret immaculately thanks to the smooth and fast finish.
