Guitar
I've always had a soft spot for Godins, but this one is particularly appealing to me - though I wish it had a transparent black finish!

Godin Multiac Jazz
guitarz.blogspot.com
The Godin Multiac Jazz is not designed to look impressive, but to sound impressive - and that's something that you can easily spot (and the F-holes are extremely elegant still) in this guitar combining classicism and high-tech innovations.
As a Multiac model it has 6 piezo pickups in the bridge that can either be used with acoustic sounds (with preamp and EQ) or trigger a MIDI Roland GR guitar-synth, but also be combined with the more traditional humbucker in neck position.
I've always had a soft spot for Godins, but this one is particularly appealing to me - though I wish it had a transparent black finish!
