Godin Multiac Nylon Oceanburst Ltd — Electro-Nylon Guitar with Bag
The Godin Multiac Nylon Oceanburst is a Canadian-made, limited-edition nylon-string electro-acoustic guitar created in collaboration with Opal Ocean. It combines a hollowed silver-leaf-maple body, a solid cedar top with a figured-maple veneer and a high-gloss Oceanburst finish. It is designed for players who want an amplified nylon-string option; its feel and sound still need to suit your own technique and equipment.
Oceanburst versus Opalburst
The Oceanburst has a Richlite fingerboard, whereas the Godin Multiac Nylon Opalburst MN Ltd has a maple fingerboard. Both models use the same published 25.5-inch scale, 1.9-inch nut width and LR Baggs pickup concept. These are meaningful differences to compare in feel and finish, not proof that one instrument is objectively better.
What the onboard electronics provide
Godin specifies custom-voiced LR Baggs electronics with six individual saddle transducers and a blendable Lyric microphone, plus phase control and adjustable tape-saturation simulation. Players can experiment with different balances and processing when connected to a suitable amplification or recording system. Stage feedback still depends on the volume, speakers and settings; it cannot be ruled out solely because the guitar is a Multiac.
Neck and string specifications
The bolt-on silver-leaf-maple neck has a Richlite fingerboard with a 16-inch radius. The scale length is 25.5 inches (647.7 mm), with a 1.9-inch (48.26 mm) Graphtech nut, 22 medium frets and nylon strings. A classical guitarist should consider the neck dimensions and string spacing before switching from a wider traditional instrument.

Electronics and Live Connection Guide
Godin’s custom-voiced LR Baggs system combines six individual saddle transducers with a blendable Lyric microphone. A player can adjust the pickup/microphone balance and use the onboard phase and tape-saturation-simulation options. Start with moderate gain when using a PA or acoustic amplifier; increasing microphone contribution can make feedback more likely near stage monitors.
Practical setup: verify the physical guitar’s output connection, battery condition and control layout before selecting a cable, interface input or amplifier. A listing for a compatible pickup system does not guarantee that a cable, amplifier or spare battery accompanies the instrument. The manufacturer’s XHTC nylon specification is a model string reference, not a recommendation to fit steel strings.

Common Questions
Is this a steel-string acoustic-electric?
No. It is a nylon-string Multiac with its own neck geometry and electronics. Use compatible nylon strings; do not substitute a conventional steel-string set.
Is Oceanburst the same as Opalburst?
No. In addition to different finishes, the Oceanburst uses a Richlite fingerboard while the Opalburst MN Ltd uses maple. Their broadly similar electronics do not make them identical guitars.
Are the gig bag and batteries included?
The Barbad product title says with Bag. Confirm the actual included bag, battery and setup with the physical unit. No extra amplifier, cable or accessory is implied.
Before ordering from Barbad
Confirm the exact included gig bag, electronics power requirements, compatible cables or amplifier, availability and UAE delivery details before placing an order. Read the official Oceanburst specifications, compare the Opalburst version, or contact Barbad for buying and setup questions.
