Godin Duet Nylon: Balancing Warmth and Playability / Reliable Early Dual Source for Live Performance The Godin Duet Nylon is a model that, while built on the soft resonance unique to nylon strings, is also equipped with practical features that make it easy to handle on stage and in recording sessions. Its slim body design contributes to ease of handling, and this, combined with its unique Dual Source configuration, makes it appealing not only as an extension of classical guitar playing but also for those who usually play electric or steel-string guitars. It's a memorable instrument for those drawn to the specifications of early models. This particular unit is an early model and is equipped with the L.R. Baggs Dual Source system. This configuration allows for blending the clear sound from the under-saddle pickup with the airy quality of the internal microphone, making it easier to achieve everything from a well-defined line sound to a more natural and lively acoustic-like texture. It also features EQ, a notch filter, and a blend function, making it a strong point that it's well-equipped for practical sound adjustment. The sound retains the roundness characteristic of nylon strings while maintaining clarity even when amplified through a line. Blending in the condenser microphone prevents it from sounding too harsh like a typical piezo pickup, making it easier to achieve a warm and natural tone. The nut width is also relatively narrow, making it an accessible model for those not accustomed to the wider necks of classical guitars. The gentle resonance of nylon strings, ease of switching instruments, and flexible sound shaping capabilities of the Dual Source system come together naturally, making it an instrument that's easy to use both at home and on stage. For those seeking a more practical "electro-classical" guitar that retains classical expressive power, this model offers a highly appealing package. Regarding its condition, there are numerous dings and scratches throughout. Additionally, the battery snap has been replaced. There is slight crackling on the slider controls, and there is limited room for loosening the truss rod. However, the neck is currently straight and there are no issues with playability.
