John Bohlinger demos the all-new Godin Guitars Multiac Mundial, a modern, Canadian-made nylon-string guitar designed to push the envelope for live and in-studio performance.


Godin Multiac Mundial

Thirty years ago, we introduced the Multiac Nylon SA, which quickly became a worldwide success and the flagship instrument of Godin Guitars. Since then, we have continued to innovate in order to offer different variations of the Multiac in order to accommodate different players and styles of music. For 2023, we are extremely proud to introduce the new Godin Multiac Mundial.

Available in a variety of colours, the Multiac Mundial is made in our Canadian factories with the same high standards as our other instruments. A more modern and stylish variation of our other Multiacs, this nylon-string guitar is the result of years of research and development. To achieve the most natural acoustic sound possible, we've returned to our hollow-body design, so the guitar is lighter, breathes, and resonates without feedback. The Godin Double Source Custom preamp, the same as on the Encore models, allows you to mix the under saddle pickup with the sensors in the guitar for maximum versatility. The Multiac Mundial sets itself apart with its Canadian Silver Leaf Maple body, select solid Cedar top, and Spanish Cedar neck, making it notably lighter, well balanced, and tonally complex.

If you are looking to push the envelope of nylon-string guitar performance, either live or in a studio setting, look no further than the Multiac Mundial.

Our guest columnist’s current pedalboard spices his EXH diet with stomps from Line 6, TC Electronic, Strymon, Fulltone, Ibanez, and Boss.

Ex-B-52s member, composer, and NYC music scene veteran Pat Irwin loves pairing EHX pedals with keyboards—and recollecting good times with his late guitar virtuoso friend.

I’ve got a thing for Electro-Harmonix effects boxes. I’ve got a Crying Tone Wah that’s the coolest, a 16 Second Digital Delay, and a Deluxe Memory Man. All have made their way onto my ambient country band SUSS’s new record, Birds & Beasts. And currently a Big Muff, two Freeze Sound Retainers, and a Mel9 Tape Replay Machine are on my pedalboard. Here’s the thing: I like using them on keyboards.

In 2016 we lost one of the most influential guitarists and unsung heroes the world has ever known. The driving force behind Elvis Presley’s first recordings, Winfield Scott “Scotty” Moore III helped shape the sound of rock ’n’ roll and inspire generations of fans. Born in 1931, Scotty caught his big break in 1954 when he was called to do a session with Elvis at Sam Phillip’s Sun Studio in Memphis. History was made that day when Elvis recorded “That’s All Right,” and for about four years, Scotty provided 6-string magic for such Elvis hits as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Hound Dog,” and “Jailhouse Rock.”

A huge Chet Atkins fan, Scotty grew up listening to country and jazz. This blend would have a dramatic impact on his sound, as he would mix Travis picking with some ear-twisting note choices based on chords, rather than using an obvious scalar approach.
