Para mim o Godin é mais equilibrado, os médios e agudos soam melhor junto com a mix toda. O fender me lembra o som de uma telecaster é muito bom também. No final é questão de preferência pessoal. Eu gosto mais do som do Godin no questão de som de violão. Já para utilizar com distorção e solos como se fosse uma guitarra o som do fender é mais próximo de uma guitarra, médios mais agressivos, muito bom. Parabéns pelo demonstrativo.

Thanks for your comment mate! I quite agree with you, it seems to me that the Godin cuts better through the mix, and the Fender sounds a little fuller by itself, speaking about acoustic tones. The electric tones are both a little weird, the Godin seems a little weak but more natural sounding, the Fender is a little too aggressive when distorted... Again , as you said, it' a matter of personal preferencies

Dear OP. I want to do this with my LP junior project. The control cavity is very small and I don’t think it’s feasible to squeeze an active piezo system in there. What I’m really interested in is how will the passive piezo sound straight into an amp??? Is there enough signal strength across the frequency range to get at least a slightly decent acoustic sound?
@SymoneJem2 ай бұрын
You are right, you can't fit the preamp and the battery of the active piezo system in the control cavity. And what you are hearing is the actual passive piezo through my sound card and my daw. The signal definetly has enough strenght, and btw if you want you can use some acoustic preamp on your pedal board. I would recommend to not send your piezo signal to an amp ( unless is an acoustic amp) , you better send it to a mixer and then to the PA.

I'm a full time professional acoustic soloist. I have a Guild S7CE Peregrine, a Taylor T5 Custom, and a Godin A6 Ultra denim blue flame, among 14 other instruments. I use a TC Electronic BodyRez pedal to liven the transducers on all three. A good friend who recently passed away had a "Acoustasonic Stratocaster". I hated it. It was compressed, and there's a weird latency with the digital modeling built into it's circuitry. And it looked like something from a cartoon, not a serious instrument. The Godin is superior in every way. The humbucker is way too hot to blend well, but if you bury it deep (low strings the deepest) it does better. Install a clean 20K or less pickup and you can really get it going. The Godin is made by REAL luthiers with the finest woods (they do not abide "green" principles and actually give you GOOD wood). and the craftsmanship is obvious. The Fender is made largely by low income local minorities in CA. The video of the factory will tell you what you need to know. Not that they cannot make a decent product, but they will not object to a substandard instrument leaving the line. They are EMPLOYEES, not LUTHIERS. These two guitars are not even in the same caliber. Godin, hands down.

I think that the Godin is probably the better instrument but the acoustic modeling in the Fender can't be understated. It can give the gigging musician a much bigger/more natural acoustic sound. I've got a Martin GPC Aura GT and the fishman aura system in that guitar models different mic's and makes a HUGE difference on the sound and sounds much better on stage compared to just the peizo transducer. I blend it about 80 or 90% Aura system and the rest peizo. I want something smaller and more comfortable to play as well as a faster neck/lower action as I'm primarily a rock electric player and our band fills in with acoustic shows on the side. The Martin certainly sounds fantastic but it's uncomfortable to play after a few hours into the night. I think the Jazzmaster acoustisonic, the A6 Ultra and the Taylor T5Z pro are the 3 I'm looking at. They're all in that $1500~2000 price point.
@SymoneJem6 ай бұрын
If you play in a band i think the Godin cuts trough the mix better than the Acustasonic, you can hear it also from this video. But if you like the Aura modeling, you will like the acoustasonic. I think both acoustic imagines in the Aura F1 and in the Acoustasonic models are taken from the Fishman Aura Spectrum. For what concernes the Acoustasonic it is declared and well known. Btw the acoustasonic's tone works better when played alone or in all acoustic ensembles. And it is less easy to play and less reliable than the Godin
@FastRedPonyCar6 ай бұрын
@@SymoneJem My playing is with one acoustic bass and our singer who occasionally plays acoustic rhythm and every now and then our drummer will bring a cajone. I've heard some demos now of the Fishman Aura Spectrum box and it sounds like it does something similar to what my Martin's Aura system does (though the Aura system in the martin models actual microphones vs specific guitars) and makes the pezio sounds way more palatable which opens up my options (if I want to use the pedal) to any instrument with a pezio transducer saddle pickup. It doesn't surprise me that with Larry Fishman making the Acoustisonic electronics that he's taking that pezio signal and probably has crammed a stripped down version of the aura pedal into the built-in electronics. If I'm going to go pezio only, the Kiesel Craig Chaquico is another one that I've actually really liked the look of for easily the last 20 years as an old school Carvin player and it's right there in line with the price of the Fender and Taylor T5. For playablity, I read the opposite.. that the fender is faster and more like an electric than the Godin.
@SymoneJem6 ай бұрын
@@FastRedPonyCar Take in account that the Godin is sold with electric strings , and the Acoustasonic with acoustic strings and those kind of strings are the best for these models.. That means that you can play bendings way more easier with the Godin , as you would do with an electric guitar. With the Acoustasonic you have a wound G string, bendings are very hard to do. Plus if you put light strings on the acoustasonic you can experience low output on the high E string. Even the setup they are sold with is very different, to get an "electric guitar" feel with the acoustasonic you have to adjust bot the truss rod and the tilt screw, the godin is ready to go.

Hey man, really amazing sound! Did you have any trouble or noise with the pure passive setup so far? And can you say how the raw piezo output level is compared to the magnetic pickups?

Thanks man! No noise issues whatsoever with the passive pickup. It really does not matter the level of the two outputs, you hopefully are not sending the two signals to the same place, so you can adjust the two volumes After. You should send the piezo signal to a mixer or a soundcard as i did, and the magnetic sound to an amp or similar. If you send the piezo signal to an amp, you tipically lose all the frequencies above 8khz and it will sound "boxy".

@@lancerains4185 well if your Godin's intonation is that good, it means that is very well made and very well setup. A very good thing to have for shure. About the Acoustasonic , the issues are vey common, if i had the chance when i bought mine, i would have bought the player series one. More fair price, no charging problems, same look. btw, if you want one, i recommend you to try it before. different models have different tone available also.

Thanks a million for doing this comparison. You took a lot of time to do this for us. It was great. Now I know I made the right choice buying the Acoustasonic Jazzmaster. ✌️👍
@@tonyalfano2479 thanks for you comment, mate! Glad to help!
Godwin much better tone all around 👍
Thanks for your comment, mate!
Para mim o Godin é mais equilibrado, os médios e agudos soam melhor junto com a mix toda. O fender me lembra o som de uma telecaster é muito bom também. No final é questão de preferência pessoal. Eu gosto mais do som do Godin no questão de som de violão. Já para utilizar com distorção e solos como se fosse uma guitarra o som do fender é mais próximo de uma guitarra, médios mais agressivos, muito bom. Parabéns pelo demonstrativo.
Thanks for your comment mate! I quite agree with you, it seems to me that the Godin cuts better through the mix, and the Fender sounds a little fuller by itself, speaking about acoustic tones. The electric tones are both a little weird, the Godin seems a little weak but more natural sounding, the Fender is a little too aggressive when distorted... Again , as you said, it' a matter of personal preferencies
@@SymoneJem acho que é isso. Pra mim, se fosse escolher um só, escolheria o Godin. Ótimo instrumento.
Godin has a authentic acoustic tone and purer organic wood timbre. God bless all.
Thanks for your comment, mate! Glad that you hear the differences!
What a great guy you are! I liked the Fender more. It was more punchy, as if it had something to say of its own...My dilemma is to choose between the Taylor Tz5 and the Fender Acustasonic. But here I am in Rome, and I would be happy to form a country calypso gospel group with you, because I like your spirit!
Oh too kind of you , mate! I wish i could join your band, but I am from Sardinia, a little far from Rome! about you dilemma, unfortunately i haven't tried the Taylor so i really can't help you, but here is a comparison video that maibe will kzread.info/dash/bejne/qWZh0dKngJO_d7w.html
Dear OP. I want to do this with my LP junior project. The control cavity is very small and I don’t think it’s feasible to squeeze an active piezo system in there. What I’m really interested in is how will the passive piezo sound straight into an amp??? Is there enough signal strength across the frequency range to get at least a slightly decent acoustic sound?
You are right, you can't fit the preamp and the battery of the active piezo system in the control cavity. And what you are hearing is the actual passive piezo through my sound card and my daw. The signal definetly has enough strenght, and btw if you want you can use some acoustic preamp on your pedal board. I would recommend to not send your piezo signal to an amp ( unless is an acoustic amp) , you better send it to a mixer and then to the PA.
μου αρεσε η Godin ξερη κιθαρα και ακουγεται οτι παιζεις η Fender εχει λιγο βαθος και χωρις να ειμαι πολυ σιγουρος αν δεν την παιξω νομιζω συντονιζει λιγο
thanks for your comment mate! yes the Fender has a little more depth because of body sensor added to the normal sound (piezo+ fishman acoustic image). to my ear, because of that added depth, it cut less through the mix
I'm a full time professional acoustic soloist. I have a Guild S7CE Peregrine, a Taylor T5 Custom, and a Godin A6 Ultra denim blue flame, among 14 other instruments. I use a TC Electronic BodyRez pedal to liven the transducers on all three. A good friend who recently passed away had a "Acoustasonic Stratocaster". I hated it. It was compressed, and there's a weird latency with the digital modeling built into it's circuitry. And it looked like something from a cartoon, not a serious instrument. The Godin is superior in every way. The humbucker is way too hot to blend well, but if you bury it deep (low strings the deepest) it does better. Install a clean 20K or less pickup and you can really get it going. The Godin is made by REAL luthiers with the finest woods (they do not abide "green" principles and actually give you GOOD wood). and the craftsmanship is obvious. The Fender is made largely by low income local minorities in CA. The video of the factory will tell you what you need to know. Not that they cannot make a decent product, but they will not object to a substandard instrument leaving the line. They are EMPLOYEES, not LUTHIERS. These two guitars are not even in the same caliber. Godin, hands down.
Thanks for your comment, mate! I don't feel the latency you mentioned, but i am not a professional musician... About the wood quality i totally agree with you, Godin is far better. And most important to me, the Godin is a reliable instrument, i can't say the same for the Acoustasonic.
@@SymoneJem my friend and I observed the battery life on the Fender is about 20 playing hours while the Godin is closer to 200.
@@jefferywhidby2407 apart from battery life, it's the the type of battery that i am concerned about... you can always bring a spare 9v battery and finisch the gig with a Godin... some times the lithium battery on the Acoustasonic leaves you without sound and even if you can play while recharging, if it dies you need a spare guitar.
@@SymoneJem wait, it doesn't use a standard over the counter battery? Other than not really liking that guitar, that's a HUUUGE no no for me.
@@jefferywhidby2407 the American Acoustasonic uses a lithium battery made by Fishman, it is not easy to find and it is not immediate to swap. With the Mexican version the changed the circuit , it not have the body sensor e most important they use standard 9v battery like the Godin a6 ultra does

wonderful tone my friend, and super nice playing! which piezo did you put on you guitar?
In my opinion, the fender sounds better.
in my opinion there is no better or worst, there is the right guitar for a certain context ,so both guitars can be the right one 😉
Nice tone
Thanks man!
Great comparison. When you play along with the backing track on the magnetic pickups, it sounds like “give me back my wig” by Hound Dog Taylor - a blues favorite of mine.
thanks man! a lot of contry and blues songs are look alike, actually i was playing over a "that's alright mama " in Vince Gill's version backing track 🙂. but listening to give me back my wig, the riff it's very very similar!!
Wow, Godwin sounds so much better and brighter like you would expect from this style guitar. The fender sounded dead. I am as big of a fender guy there is but have never been a fan with their acoustics. Great songwriting btw🤙
Thanks for your comment Jacob! Actually the Godin is acoustically more alive even unplugged. The low notes are more alive and have more attack than the Fender.
sounds great! I have a gibson with a piezo wraparound too! loved the little grateful dead you snuck in there
Thanks mate!
OH MY! The Godin is the superior sound. Geez, no comparison..
Thanks for you comment Jake! The Godin works better in the mix of a band for sure. When played alone, to my ears it sounds very "piezo" but in a pleasant way.
The Godin sounds more like an authentic amplified acoustic. The Fender sounds better in most of these tests. The Acoustasonic Telecaster is a really unique guitar design - probably one of the most innovative guitar designs in a long time. The Godin wins in magnetic pickups because the neck humbucker sounds better than a bridge single-coil.
Thanks for your comment mate! I agree, plus the single coil in the fender has nothing tondo with a real single coil, it is very hot.
Thank you for an awesome demo!
Thanx a lot - it is very helpfully for my decision! BTW.... your english ist beter than mines 😄
Thanks for your kind comment , mate!
I think that the Godin is probably the better instrument but the acoustic modeling in the Fender can't be understated. It can give the gigging musician a much bigger/more natural acoustic sound. I've got a Martin GPC Aura GT and the fishman aura system in that guitar models different mic's and makes a HUGE difference on the sound and sounds much better on stage compared to just the peizo transducer. I blend it about 80 or 90% Aura system and the rest peizo. I want something smaller and more comfortable to play as well as a faster neck/lower action as I'm primarily a rock electric player and our band fills in with acoustic shows on the side. The Martin certainly sounds fantastic but it's uncomfortable to play after a few hours into the night. I think the Jazzmaster acoustisonic, the A6 Ultra and the Taylor T5Z pro are the 3 I'm looking at. They're all in that $1500~2000 price point.
If you play in a band i think the Godin cuts trough the mix better than the Acustasonic, you can hear it also from this video. But if you like the Aura modeling, you will like the acoustasonic. I think both acoustic imagines in the Aura F1 and in the Acoustasonic models are taken from the Fishman Aura Spectrum. For what concernes the Acoustasonic it is declared and well known. Btw the acoustasonic's tone works better when played alone or in all acoustic ensembles. And it is less easy to play and less reliable than the Godin
@@SymoneJem My playing is with one acoustic bass and our singer who occasionally plays acoustic rhythm and every now and then our drummer will bring a cajone. I've heard some demos now of the Fishman Aura Spectrum box and it sounds like it does something similar to what my Martin's Aura system does (though the Aura system in the martin models actual microphones vs specific guitars) and makes the pezio sounds way more palatable which opens up my options (if I want to use the pedal) to any instrument with a pezio transducer saddle pickup. It doesn't surprise me that with Larry Fishman making the Acoustisonic electronics that he's taking that pezio signal and probably has crammed a stripped down version of the aura pedal into the built-in electronics. If I'm going to go pezio only, the Kiesel Craig Chaquico is another one that I've actually really liked the look of for easily the last 20 years as an old school Carvin player and it's right there in line with the price of the Fender and Taylor T5. For playablity, I read the opposite.. that the fender is faster and more like an electric than the Godin.
@@FastRedPonyCar Take in account that the Godin is sold with electric strings , and the Acoustasonic with acoustic strings and those kind of strings are the best for these models.. That means that you can play bendings way more easier with the Godin , as you would do with an electric guitar. With the Acoustasonic you have a wound G string, bendings are very hard to do. Plus if you put light strings on the acoustasonic you can experience low output on the high E string. Even the setup they are sold with is very different, to get an "electric guitar" feel with the acoustasonic you have to adjust bot the truss rod and the tilt screw, the godin is ready to go.
Hey man, really amazing sound! Did you have any trouble or noise with the pure passive setup so far? And can you say how the raw piezo output level is compared to the magnetic pickups? I also think of installing the graph techs and wonder if the level is enough to blend in the sound of the magnetics.
Thanks man! No noise issues whatsoever with the passive pickup. It really does not matter the level of the two outputs, you hopefully are not sending the two signals to the same place, so you can adjust the two volumes After. You should send the piezo signal to a mixer or a soundcard as i did, and the magnetic sound to an amp or similar. If you send the piezo signal to an amp, you tipically lose all the frequencies above 8khz and it will sound "boxy".
Thanks for the reply, good to know, the noise issues were my greatest fear. My plan was to have some kind of switch to select between piezo / magnetic / piezo+magnetic. I wanted to connect all signals to the same output jack and plug the guitar into my Ampero multi effect pedal, which supports an acoustic amp / and Cab-IRs. Do you think this could work? @@SymoneJem
@@spacy5205 yes it will work fine. My guitar had a stereo output jack, and i used a Y cable to split the piezo signal from the magnetic one. if you do the same, you can send the two signals to two different inputs of the ampero (if it has them) and process signals separately. p.s. i am selling the actual piezo bridge that you can hear in the video
@@SymoneJem My ampero only has one input, but I think switching on the guitar itself will be ok for me. Actually I need the piezo ghost saddles for my guitar and hope that the quality is comparable to the bridge - and I live in germany, so it might be a lot of additional costs after taxes and shipping. Thank you very much for all your support and information, it is really difficult to get some experience values for the passive piezo setup!
@@spacy5205 i live in Italy, shipping to Germany takes 30 euros more or less. If your Ampero has only one input then the situation gets more complicated. When you switch from one signal to the other one ( piezo or magnetic), you have to do two things at the same time: switching signal on the guitar and also change patch on the Ampero.
Great review and playing! The Godin with the humbucker placed at the neck naturally caters more to jazz and bossa players. The Fender more to pop/rock use. They both sound great. I was surprised how good the Fender sounded with the electric strings! The acoustic sounds still sounded enough like an acoustic and the electric sound had more gain and bite to it as well as clarity.... ❤ Keep both. 😇
thanks mate! i agree with you, they have a different soul for what concernes the magnetic sounds.
did u use with preamp from graphtech too (mostly kit version) or just piezo direct out (passive)?
Just passive piezo, no preamp
@@SymoneJem sounds amazing, thanks man
@@amyrparker6313 you're welcome!
Outstanding performance! It gave me goosebumps so deep and intense.
thanks mate!!! too kind of you!
@@SymoneJem I'm just honest more than kind. Maybe one day i'll be able to perform that solo in such a perfect way!
@@peablasfemo thanks a lot, again. it is not a very technical solo, you can master it. the difficult part is the interpretation, you must learn it by heart and feel it
Muto bueno! The Fender wins overall, good sound acoustic, tremendous on electric. But at the end the Fender is friendly to use, looks cleaner on the top as well?
hi, mate! glad that you liked the Fender, but i'm not sure to understand you question, sorry
The Fender is a weak sounding guitar but Dat Neck is gorgeous!!! 💛💙 🤗🤗❤❣I own an A6 and would never sell it. Just too good live without booming. Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Thanks for your comment , mate! They sound very different indeed! Btw i prefer A6 ultra's neck! Best regards!
@@SymoneJem I heard dat. On my 7th Godin and have loved all of them. Cheers and Best Regards and Best Wishes!
I’m normally a Fender gal, but the Godin sounds sweet.
if you pay solo, probably the acoustasonic is a little better, but if you play in a band , the Godin cuts trough the mix better
Great!!! 🔥
thanks mate!
Did you take any photos during the installation that show how you routed the wires? Did you route new holes in the wood or did you go through the pickup rings?
I'm sorry, i didn't take any pictures. But if you look carefully at the first seconds of the video you will see the piezo wires between the wrap around bridge and the pickup. I didn't route any hole in the body, i just sanded the pickup cover enough to let the piezo wires pass under the cover and reach the electronics cavity passing where the pickup wires are routed.
Awesome !!!!! 👍👍👍
thanks mate!
Great demo, Symone. Thanks!
Thank you for your comment!
Great comparison and good guitar playing as a bonus. My next purchase is aimed at an electric guitar that provides acoustic sound. (Getting up in years and my hands are not what they used to be.) This helped a lot. Your English is fine. Wish I was multilingual. Hello from South Texas and y’all have a great day, partner.
Hello from Italy Ted, nice to see your comment! Hope you find the right guitar for your needs! Have a great day too!
what did you end up getting? or are thinking of ?
Grande Simo💥
grazie Roby!
Not really a fair comparison seeing the selector on the Fender seemed to be in the "one" or Tele pick-up position with every example. The acoustic tone settings on the Fender was never used. Too bad because the Fender has some really good acoustic tones the Godin cannot compete with.
Hi Tim, I understand that my spoken English is quite poor, but at 4.38 I point out what acoustic tone Iam going to use on both guitars. BTW, you don't need to see the selector on the Fender to know if i am using the magnetic or acoustic tone, because i'ts clearly audible, and plus it's clearly pointed out before every comparison I made... E.g. if you look at minutes 8.14 and 10.08 you can clearly see that at first the selector is on the center position (as i say at 4.38) and then it's all on the left. Don't be fooled by the perspective, and most important, use your ears ;)
@@SymoneJem I do not disagree with the couple of settings you used were to the left. perhaps your point was not to compare acoustic tones and if I missed that part I apologize but if you were comparing the acoustic tone of the two guitars the best modeled acoustic tones on the Fender as you know are not found on the left positions but on the right side. I really does not matter that much to me, I only noticed the best acoustic positions on the Fender was not used against the acoustic sounds of the Godin.
@@timcox6796 now i undertand your point. btw this is a subjective topic, as i said in the video i wanted to compare the best acoustic tone i could get out of both guitars, and in my personal opinion the best acoustic tone of the Fender is the one that combines the piezo plus the body sensor. in my opinion the body sensor makes the tone more tridimensional and natural (or less piezo-cold if you will), more like an acoustic guitar is, so i decided to compare that sound. as a amtter of fact i always use that tone when i play it amplified.
Bigsby vs Tune-o-matic: - bridge - 0:46 vs 4:11 - middle - 1:06 vs 4:30 - neck - 1:14 vs 4:40
In my humble view, Godin is a different class, by all means. Brighter, clearer, much more refined sound. Thank you for the review, very interesting one!
I agree with you, it cuts through in a mix better than the Fender. btw it lacks a bit of natural acoustic tone, since it's a pure piezo tone.
Yeah, Godin guitars are really just a league of their own. For many of us, it's an obvious choice when it comes to channeling our ideas through six strings, unimpeded. I love my A6 Ultra because it is the most accurate extension of myself. There are others that will work in a pinch, but at the end of the day the Godin is the go-to.
Not a fan of either, but if I had to choose it would be the Acoustasonic just because it sounds a lot more like a regular guitar when unplugged. I don't plug in unless I'm playing my LP or Fender Mustang, I have a Martin 000-15M with Presys and I don't care the sound thru that system either. If I were a gigging musician I could definitely see the strong points of both, but since I'm not, I prefer to play the instrument that matches the music for which it was intended. Great video BTW!
thanks for your comment Paul! yes, the Acoustasonic is more pleasant than the godin when played unplugged
insane
Great video, and comparison on these two guitars. I have been debating on what guitar I wanted to buy. I have looked at Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster, and after hearing these comparisons, I think I have decided on the Fender. Let me say. the Godin did sound good, and together, I think you could make some great country jams. The Tele gives more deeper tones, which I really like hearing, and the Godin is just a tad brighter.
thanks a lot for you comment mate! lot of people is enchanted by deeper tones of the Fender, but do you really need all that midrange? and remember this is only an audio comparison , there would be a lot more to discuss about. if you are thinking of buying an Acoustasonic i really recommend to you to read forums and facebook owner groups 😉
When playing with no amplification the Acoustisonic wins hands down. Once they are plugged in the Godin is far superior to the Fender. No comparison. The acoustisonic sounds like you were playing inside of a tin can. The A6 Ultra sounded fantastic. Clearly the winner. (Not just because I have an A6 Ultra and am partial to Godin/Seagull guitars)
thanks for your comment Will!
I agree when you played them acoustically the acoustosonic sounded better and I own 2 Godins. One is an lr baggs and a regular A6. The lr baggs does not have a magnetic pickup but I pretty much play them unplugged anyway. Both guitars were bought used and the where on a deal which I could not resist. I got them when I was searching for a resonator guitar and decided the Godin was the best sounding resonator I played if that makes sense
@@tondebruijn5424 well technically the godin is not a resonator guitar, but it plays well even acoustic. due to the youtube compression it is not really audible, but acustically the godin is louder than the fender.
@@SymoneJem I did not explain that well enough I think. I wanted a resonator and I played a couple in stores and I never liked playing any of them and then I realized my Godin A6 had that resonator sound I was looking for.
@@tondebruijn5424 ok , now i got it :)
I prefer the Godin.
me too!
Je préfère la Godin.
Je ne doutais pas que tu l'aurais préféré!😁
Man, I like your playing and comparison! well done and very professionally. Keep it up. (Seems the Fender is superior in almost all aspects, though they should have included a built in midi port)
thanks for your comment man! The Acoustasonic is more good looking, the tone are appealing, but as time pass by, i find it way less reliable than the Godin. And yes, being able to change sounds via midi would be a very usable feature
So expertly done comparison. I like the Fender sound the best.
thanks man!
When doing the killer solos toward the end just the pick up no over drive pedal for the Godin ?
Hi Eddy, do you mean the Anouk- nobody's wife's solo? there i am using a strymon iridium , the marshall channel, and a tube screamer to boost it.
@@SymoneJem okay I see so does this one have a built-in overdrive I'm getting that impression that when you go to the humbucker it's more of a dirty sound electric-type sound is that true with the Godin?
@@eddy4022 yes it is, the Godin's humbucker is a regular medium-low output humbucker and it sound more like a regular electric guitar.
@@SymoneJem so does it sound like a light distortion good for soloing?
@@eddy4022 yes, when you put it into a distorted amp with a boost in front of it, sound like you heard it, light distortion solo tone. actually , it reacts to distortion less than a regular humbucker, it gets a little less distorted. about the first question you made, the godin doesn 't have a built in overdrive.
Amazing bro 🤘🤘🤘🤘
thanks a lot bro! 🤘🤘🤘

Thanks Neil!

Isso que é execução!!!!
thanks a lot Renato!
Quick question, have you got the passive piezo wired direct to the output, or are you running through the volume and tone pot etc, so that the sound is affected by the capacitor and pots? Sounds great.
Hi Conor, it is wired straight to the output jack, no volume and tone involved. It was meant to be processed on my pedalboard with a line selector sending the piezo signal to an eq and a reverb , then to the PA, in a live situation
@@SymoneJem perfect dude. I appreciate the information as I was unsure about a few things. I'm getting a harley benton strat, removing all electronics, and installing a blank pickguard, and the ghost piezo passive, so it's an electro acoustic only. Not needing to add the tone etc will make it look so much cleaner lol It'll save me a bit of money too not buying the graphtech preamp, as I have a boss gx100 multieffects which I was assuming would do a similar job, so I'm glad your able to use your existing pedals to do it. Really helped clear up alot of purchase anxiety man, thanks :)
@@conordyer2307 you're welcome man! obviously , having the preamp onboard would make your guitar more"ready to plug in to the pa and play" but it requires more money and modification to the guitar in order to host the preamp and the battery. but your multifx will sure do what needed to get a good tone.
I have the A6 ultra in koa the instrument is very precise easy to play and frets perfectly the intonation is dead nuts on... I like the reviews I'm getting from the Fender and I've held one at the music store they seem to be very well made Out of all the reviews I have seen no one ever mentions the intonation.. I would really like to have the Tele version of the Fender It would make a wonderful addition to the collection.. Lastly in my opinion the Godan is going to be the superior instrument... The Fender is certainly making a mark and striking a positive note with a wide variety of players... Have fun play often enjoy life..
Hi Lance, thanks for your comment! The A6 is a very good instrument, that is worth the price it sells for. The Acoustasonic is very appealing , the look is very good, but in my opinion it has too much issues to be a reliable instrument. About the intonation, guitars are imperfect instruments, btw if a guitar has good frets, a good setup and fairly comfortable action , intonation is usually accettable. Btw both instruments have compensated nut, they are intonated as an acoustic guitar can be.
@@SymoneJem Oh yeah for sure I get it the intonation on an acoustic is usually only ballpark at best but if it's too extreme it can be a deal breaker for me... I was however very surprised with my A6 when I checked it the thing is next to perfect and it plays that way across-the-board... The Fender is a d*** fine instrument I don't think I have to fear any of those type of issues I would gladly own one and enjoy playing it very much.. Out of the 3 body shapes they make the Tele is most appealing.... let the shopping began.
@@lancerains4185 well if your Godin's intonation is that good, it means that is very well made and very well setup. A very good thing to have for shure.
