Godin Multiac Mundial Onyx Black Nylon-String Guitar
The Godin Multiac Mundial Onyx Black is a Canadian-made nylon-string electro-acoustic guitar designed for amplified playing. It has a hollowed Silver Leaf Maple body, solid cedar top, Spanish cedar neck, and a high-gloss Onyx Black finish. Its chambered design and onboard electronics distinguish it from a conventional full-body classical guitar.
How do the Godin Double Source electronics work?
The Custom Godin Dual Source system combines an undersaddle pickup with two body sensors. Its onboard preamp lets the player blend the signals for amplified nylon-string playing. The system uses a 9V battery. This configuration is useful to compare with instruments that have only a single undersaddle pickup.
Neck dimensions and playing feel
The neck carries a rosewood fingerboard with a 16-inch (406.4 mm) radius, a 1.9-inch (48.26 mm) Graphtech nut and 22 frets. Its 25.5-inch (647.7 mm) scale length is another useful specification when comparing it with other nylon-string models. The neck is bolt-on Spanish cedar.
What is included?
Godin lists a Multiac & A-Series gig bag among the contents supplied with this model. Confirm the exact accessories and current availability with Barbad before ordering.
Exact Onyx Black Model and Factory Stringing
The Onyx Black Mundial is manufacturer model 052820 (UPC 623501052820), finished in high-gloss black. It has the same family specifications for scale, nut and electronics as other recent Mundial finishes, but it is a distinct product from the separate Multiac SA guitar. The factory-listed XHTC nylon string gauges are .029, .0333, .0416, .030, .036, .045 inches (first to sixth). Use compatible nylon sets, not steel-string acoustic guitar strings.
Stage Connections and Battery Care
The Custom Godin Dual Source preamp combines an undersaddle pickup with two body sensors; it requires a 9V battery. Before a performance or recording session, verify battery condition, the guitar’s output socket, compatible cable and input gain. Although the chambered design can help with amplified playing, the electronics do not guarantee freedom from feedback near loud monitors. No 13-pin synth-access functionality is specified for this Mundial model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Onyx Black electronically different from Ozark Cream or Aztek Red?
Godin’s published specification describes the same basic Dual Source system and nylon-string design across these Mundial finishes. Onyx Black is 052820, Ozark Cream is 052400, and Aztek Red is 052394. Choose based on finish and the actual supplied instrument rather than assuming the colour changes the pickup system.
Is it a standard classical guitar?
It uses nylon strings but has a hollowed, reduced-depth electric-style body and onboard pickup. A full-depth acoustic classical guitar may differ considerably in unplugged sound and playing position.
Are a case, cable or battery included?
Godin lists the Multiac & A-Series gig bag with the model. Confirm the bag and any power or connection accessories supplied with Barbad’s exact guitar before ordering.
