Godin Mahogany Parlour Blackburst A/E

A Recent Godin Parlour, Designed and Made in Canada

The Godin Mahogany Parlour Black Burst A/E is one of the recent additions to Godin's acoustic range. Made in Canada in the brand's workshops, it features meticulous luthiery and a wood selection designed to achieve a responsive, musical, and reliable instrument, equally enjoyable at home or amplified.

Who Is This Godin Parlour For?

This electro-acoustic targets both motivated beginner guitarists looking for a comfortable instrument, and intermediate and advanced musicians who want an expressive parlour. Its format and tonal character make it particularly suited for fingerstyle, "roots" blues, folk accompaniment, and bluegrass licks, with real ease of placement in the mix when plugged in.

The Sound

The combination of a solid mahogany top and solid mahogany back delivers a warm tonal signature, centered on the midrange, with a round attack and natural sustain. The laminated mahogany sides contribute to stability and a consistent response. The parlour format favors precision, dynamics, and note clarity, which particularly highlights fingerstyle playing and nuances. When amplified, the Fishman Presys VT provides a quickly usable sound while preserving the instrument's woody and balanced character.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original feel, favor a set of acoustic strings with a gauge of 012-053 (like the factory-installed gauge: .012, .016, .025, .033, .043, .053). A folk guitar capo will also suit the scale length and nut width of this model, practical for open position playing and accompaniment.
