Can I use the A6 Ultra with one cable?

Yes. The acoustic/mix jack carries the blended signal. Use both jacks to send the humbucker and acoustic pickup to separate amps or a PA.

Does it feedback easily at band volume?

Less than a full acoustic. The chambered body and soundboard design are meant to control feedback in loud settings, though very high gain can still cause trouble.

What is the neck like compared with an acoustic?

It is closer to an electric. The 25.5-inch scale, 1.6875-inch nut and 16-inch radius make bending and lead playing easier than on a typical dreadnought.

The guitar and a gig bag. A battery for the preamp is needed for the pickup system to work.

Is the Koa version different in sound?

The Koa designation is mainly a cosmetic top finish. The core build, pickups and preamp are the same as other A6 Ultra models.

Players who mostly play unplugged or want a traditional acoustic voice. A standard acoustic suits those uses better.

Price facts

What reviewers say

Owners of the A6 Ultra line praise the feedback resistance, the electric neck feel and the flexibility of blending the humbucker with the piezo. Most criticism centers on the amplified acoustic tone sounding more electric than woody and on the number of controls to learn.

What people mention

FeedbackPraisedOwners say the chambered body keeps feedback in check at loud stage volumes.
Neck feelPraisedPlayers like the electric-style neck and radius for bends and lead lines.
Pickup blendPraisedThe humbucker and under-saddle pickup combine into a full, flexible sound.
Acoustic toneMixedSome find the amplified acoustic voice less natural than a mic'd acoustic guitar.
ControlsMixedThe preamp's many sliders and knobs reward tweaking but take getting used to.
Unplugged volumeCriticisedThe chambered body keeps feedback down but limits acoustic projection unplugged.

About the Godin A6 Ultra Koa

The A6 Ultra continues with the innovative concepts found in all Godin A-series guitars, such as combining amazing plugged-in acoustic sound with the feel of an electric neck, along with a chambered body design that virtually eliminates feedback in live & loud settings. These features stand true and better than ever in the A6 Ultra with the added “Oomph!” and full tone of a Godin humbucker in the neck position, along with an under-saddle transducer, dual outputs (acoustic and electric) that combine for a huge sound and a Custom Godin preamp section voiced specifically for the A6 Ultra. This preamp section gives a player the chance to control their tone via sliders for acoustic volume, treble, mid, bass and independent controls for the electric humbucker volume, treble and bass. Whether plugging into the single acoustic mix or via both outputs, controlling your tone is at the tip of your fingers. And the A6 Ultra delivers in all styles of music from jazz to rock to country and not to mention a great blues slide guitar.
