Godin Multiac Nylon Duet Ambiance Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural Guitar Center. I found so little about the Godin serial numbers online. Bought a used Godin Multiac nylon string, synth-ready, serial number 09176143. The last 5 digits is the number of your guitar since they switched to 12 digit serial numbers in late 2007. 8-digit Serial Numbers. Around ’93 Godin was transitioning to their 8-digit serial numbers. 94- 95- 96- had a dash showing. Example serial number: 99025147 The first two digits “99” represents the year the guitar was built. But this is not the calendar year. It’s Godin’s “production year” running from August 1st to July 31st. For further insight, we encourage you to visit our helpful FAQ or resource sections.

Godin Guitars is a Canadianmanufacturing company headquartered in Montreal that specializes in string instruments. The company is owned by founder Robert Godin, CM.
Range of products currently manufactured by Godin includes electric and acoustic guitars and basses. The company also produced ukuleles, mandolins,[1] and ouds (named 'multi oud')[2] in the past.
Godin started building Robert Godin's guitars in 1972 in La Patrie, Quebec. The head office is located in Montreal, and they build instruments in six factories in four locations—three in Quebec and one in New Hampshire.
Godin Guitars makes instruments under several different labels. Norman makes entry- to pro-level acoustic guitars. Art & Lutherie makes entry-level budget acoustic guitars. The Simon and Patrick brand make mid- to high-range steel-string acoustics. La Patrie manufactures classical guitars. Seagull makes solid wood entry- to professional-range acoustic guitars. Guitars under the Godin brand are primarily mid-range to top-of the-line electrics that are made of high quality wood from the northeastern part of North America. They have many models that feature synth hex pickups (MIDI-equipped[3]) and some with piezo pickup-equipped bridges. Godin 'SA' guitars have piezo bridge pickups which provide six separate outputs via a Roland GK cable socket, making them compatible with Roland and other guitar-synthesizer units and the VG series of guitar modelling units.
Godin's guitars have won several awards, including Guitar Player magazine's Editors Pick for the LG, Exit 22, and Freeway Classic. Godin's popular LG Hmb is made of mahogany with a mahogany neck and a rosewood fretboard. The scale length is 24.75', the neck radius is 14' and it has 22 frets. The 2004 model features a five way switch for neck, neck-split to single, neck and humbucker in parallel, bridge-split to single and bridge. The pickups are ceramic.
Godin also makes the Multiac line of hybrid guitars which are available as steel string or nylon string, incorporating both piezo and magnetic pickups, built-in DI circuitry and/or MIDI.
