Description
The Godin MultiAc Cavaquinho reimagines a beloved Brazilian folk instrument for players who need reliability on stage as well as authenticity in tone. Built in Canada, this steel-string electro-acoustic delivers the bright, percussive voice of a traditional cavaquinho while sidestepping the feedback issues that plague amplified acoustic instruments.
At its core is a chambered Canadian laurentian basswood body topped with solid spruce, giving the instrument a resonant, lively character. A mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and bridge keeps things feeling familiar to guitarists, while the slotted headstock and high-ratio open-geared tuners nod to the instrument’s folk roots. A double-function truss rod lets you dial in the setup with confidence.
Plugged in, custom-voiced Fishman electronics and an onboard preamp put a 3-band EQ — treble, mid, bass — plus a volume slider right at your fingertips, so you can shape your sound quickly between songs or sets. Strung and tuned D, G, B, D (low to high), it’s ready to slot into samba, choro, or any style calling for that unmistakable cavaquinho jangle.
