Godin Multiac Mundial Ozark Cream — Amplified Nylon-String Guitar
The Godin Multiac Mundial Ozark Cream is a Canadian-made, six-string nylon electro-acoustic guitar with a hollowed silver-leaf-maple body, solid cedar top and Spanish-cedar bolt-on neck. Its high-gloss Ozark Cream finish identifies Godin model 052400. The lighter-depth body and amplified pickup system make it a distinct alternative to a full-depth traditional classical guitar; actual playing feel depends on the neck, setup and instrument.
Godin Dual Source Electronics
The Mundial uses the Custom Godin Dual Source system, combining an undersaddle transducer with two body sensors. These can be blended using the onboard preamp to shape the amplified nylon-string signal. The manufacturer’s specifications state that the electronics require a 9V battery. Before a performance, check battery condition, an appropriate cable and amplifier/PA input, and gain settings. Body-sensor blending may need adjustment around stage monitors to manage feedback.
The Mundial is not an SA (Synth Access) Multiac. Godin’s model guide distinguishes the Dual Source Mundial from the 13-pin synth-access models; no 13-pin output or synth controller should be assumed for this product.
Neck Dimensions and Stringing
Godin specifies a 25.5-inch scale, 1.9-inch Graphtech nut, 16-inch rosewood fingerboard radius and 22 medium frets. A classical player accustomed to a 2-inch nut and flatter fretboard may prefer to compare the more traditional Grand Concert Encore, which has different neck geometry. The manufacturer lists XHTC nylon strings with the exact gauges below; do not substitute a steel-string acoustic set.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Mundial be played without an amplifier?
Yes, the nylon strings and chambered wooden body make acoustic sound, but the Mundial is specifically developed for amplified performance. Unplugged loudness and timbre should not be assumed equivalent to a full-depth classical guitar.
Does this model need a battery?
Yes. Godin’s specification explicitly says 9V battery required. Confirm the actual battery fitted, operating condition and what is included with the offered instrument.
Does this instrument have the Multiac 13-pin synth output?
No synth-access functionality is listed for the Ozark Cream Mundial. It has the Godin Dual Source pickup/preamp system, not the separate SA system.
Is a gig bag included?
Godin lists a Multiac & A-Series gig bag, and the Barbad product title mentions a bag. Confirm the bag accompanying the specific unit before ordering; no hard case, cable or other accessory is implied.
