Godin Multiac Mundial Kanyon Burst Nylon-String Guitar
The Godin Multiac Mundial Kanyon Burst 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 Kanyon Burst 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.
Godin Kanyon Burst — Exact Model and Stage Setup
The official Kanyon Burst manufacturer reference is Godin 052417 (UPC 623501052417). It is a six-string nylon electro-acoustic guitar, not a steel-string acoustic or a MIDI/synth-access model. The Godin Dual Source system blends the undersaddle pickup with two body sensors and requires a 9V battery. Before playing live, verify the battery, compatible cable, input gain and actual preamp settings of the guitar being supplied.
String Choice and Neck Geometry
Godin’s factory specification lists an XHTC nylon set with gauges .029 / .0333 / .0416 / .030 / .036 / .045 inches. Do not replace it with steel-string acoustic guitar strings. The 1.9-inch nut, 16-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard and 25.5-inch scale distinguish it from the wider 2-inch Grand Concert Encore neck and a conventional non-amplified classical guitar.
Compare Kanyon Burst with Other Mundial Finishes
Godin lists Kanyon Burst (052417), Ozark Cream (052400) and other finishes in the same Mundial family. The published Kanyon Burst and Ozark Cream specifications share the solid cedar top, Spanish-cedar neck and Dual Source construction. The finish itself does not imply different electronics or a guaranteed tonal difference. Compare condition, actual finish and the supplied bag for each instrument.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect it directly to a recording interface?
The onboard preamp provides an instrument signal for suitable amplification or recording equipment. Check the output connection, interface input type, gain, battery and cables on the actual guitar before recording.
Is this the 13-pin Multiac SA?
No. Godin specifies the Dual Source system for the Mundial, rather than the separate synth-access electronics used on SA-branded models.
Is the gig bag included?
Godin lists a Multiac/A-Series gig bag, and Barbad’s product name includes “with Bag”. Confirm the physical accessory, current stock and delivery arrangements before purchase.
