Brand new 🥰 Godin 049684 Electric Classical Concert QIT MADE In CANADA 🔥

GODIN 049684 DETAILS

The solid cedar top’s combination of rigidity and flexibility provides amazing resonance.

The Godin 049684 Concert QIT Acoustic-Electric Classical Guitar has a solid cedar top with mahogany laminate back and sides. Also features mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, rosewood bridge with compensated saddle, gold “lyra” style tuners with pearloid buttons, Quantum I Electronics, and a semi-gloss satin finish. The Concert is Godin’s top-of-the-line in their mahogany/cedar guitar models.

One sign of the care given the Concert guitar is the eight coats of lacquer it receives that are buffed down to a highly responsive high-gloss finish. This special process takes 8 days to complete.

800 Year Old Trees

These guitars feature solid cedar tops. The wood used in these tops can be found only in cedar trees that have an average age of about 800 years. The tight, straight grain in this wood makes it strong in the direction of the string tension while at the same time flexible across the grain lines. The vibration of the guitar top is the most crucial element of the sound.

Lacquer Finish

Finished with a special lacquer formula. This finish is light enough to allow the wood to breath and vibrate freely. The tops resonating capacity actually improves as the guitar is played over an extended period of time. This gradual improvement in the response of the top is often referred to as “aging”. Poly finishes inhibit top vibration and are therefore never used on these guitars. Many other guitars use a thick plastic finish that smothers top vibration and prevents the benefits of aging.

Classical guitars of the past have typically been made with thick neck dimensions, while this promoted a certain amount of neck stability, it often made certain playing aspects difficult to execute. It is for this reason that special attention was directed to the neck design of the these guitars. Neck width and string spacing conform to classical standards, but a new truss rod system allows the profile of the neck to be reduced producing a neck of extraordinary comfort, while increasing stability. The necks are carved from Honduras mahogany. All Concert models feature a rosewood fingerboard and bridge.

Godin Q1T
Streamlined, simple and superior sound are just a few words to describe the optional Godin Q1T electronics.
