Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Godin xtsa is a beautifully crafted and finished instrument. It provides rich warm and punchy sounds from the humbuckers along with crisp bright tones in the coil tapped out of phase positions, making most tones readily available. Its piezo pickups and onboard eq give top class piezo acoustic guitar tones and at the flick of a switch provide the best synth access currently available.
The thick mahogany neck and body yeild warmth and sustain but be aware that the neck is considerably wider and thicker than many standard guitars. If in your playing style you like to use your chord-hand thumb over the top of the neck for holing bass notes or muting strings, unless you have unusually large hands this could be difficult to do.
If the neck suits, this guitar will get full marks but it's not cheap so I would suggest try before you buy!

A jack-of-all-trades, and master of all of them, the xtSA's incredible sound power begins with three distinct voices: electric guitar, acoustic guitar and synth controller. The xtSA delivers big time electric sounds via the Godin humbucker-single-humbucker pickup configuration and thanks to a special 5-way switch setup extra meaty humbucker tones co-exist with glassy split-coil sounds in the second and forth position. Turn down the electric output and raise the volume on the RMC transducer saddles and the xtSA becomes an incredibly authentic-sounding 'acoustic' guitar. The acoustic voice of the xtSA is enhanced by an onboard preamp with a three-way graphic EQ. The two outputs are set up so that the electric and acoustic voices can be blended in the guitar using a single patch cord or at the amp/mixer using both outputs. The icing on the xtSA cake comes in the form of its synth tracking, which simply put, is the best in the business. As with all of Godin synth-ready instruments, a built-in 13-pin connector provides direct access to all Roland GR-Series synths as well as most other 13-pin devices. All of this sound power would be a lot less interesting if the guitar didn't feel great and great is exactly how the xtSA feels thanks to the same 25½" scale, mahogany neck used on the Godin flagship LGX-SA guitar. The ebony fingerboard is shaped with Godin's ergocut technique and equipped with medium jumbo frets. The body is made from a silverleaf maple center with poplar wings and decorated with a figured maple veneer on top.
