The Mahogany Connaisseur is all about warmth, balance and intimacy

This rosewood model?.... I dont know where to start but will try and convey it more clearly when I have it on video for you - maybe?  If and when time allows I promise!

 My playing restricts the potential but I hope my words are always taken from the heart. I am telling you - You need to pick one up!!!

In short this rosewood/spruce combination gives you everything you would expect from it...

• Greater complexity / detail
• More overtones
• More of that beautiful piano-like richness that seems to surround every note.

Its the the sheer scale of the sound and purity of tone that is making me fall in love with these guitars (both of them!).

Notes don't simply appear and disappear — they really do go through their own "story" I suppose I would say? Chords develop layers and harmonics that seem to hang in the air?

 Fingerstyle passages gain an almost orchestral quality, while heavier strumming produces a strong voice without losing clarity.

Yet despite all that power, the guitar never feels difficult or demanding - pure, effortless joy, which I find hard to compare from any other guitar, including some of my favorites over the years!

The Mini-Jumbo body shape may well be part of the story and why I feel so at home with this guitar.  It delivers much of the projection and fullness players associate with larger-bodied acoustics, whilst retaining a comfort and responsiveness that encourages you to keep playing.

In the hand, it feels like pure luxury and sadly the only way to appreciate this - is to get one in your hands - and once again I hope you will trust my words!!

The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard create a wonderful smooth and "confident" playing experience, whilst the modern 16" fingerboard radius gives the guitar an effortless feel that electric players will immediately appreciate. The craftsmanship throughout is absolutely first class.

Some technical stuff definitely worth knowing...

Godin have clearly obsessed over every aspect of this instrument. The Graph Tech RATIO® machine heads are a perfect example. Beautifully engineered and wonderfully precise, they make tuning feel remarkably natural. It's one of those premium touches that quietly reminds you this is a serious instrument built for serious musicians.

This particular model features Godin's Natural Sound NS3V pickup system — a sophisticated passive three-sensor design that captures the character of the guitar with impressive authenticity while keeping the instrument lightweight and beautifully resonant. There are no batteries to worry about, no complicated controls, just a simple volume control and a remarkably natural amplified tone (I didnt even know this guitar even HAD a pickup when I first tried it - and now I am like.... ok? BRILLIANT - Thats NOT why I love it but its great its there!!)

Visually, the Satina Gray finish is stunning - and once again.... Godin have totally flipped how I see guitars around me and now I am thinking - I want more of this in my life!!! Yeehaa!! - its AWESOME!
