Presenting the Godin A8 Acoustic-Electric Mandolin, this one in their Satin Natural Finish. As with all of Godin's A-Series instruments, the A8 mandolin mixes traditional tone woods with modern design concepts and electronics. The two-chamber body is routed from a solid block of mahogany and capped with a solid spruce top. The top is voiced with a unique combination of X and fan bracing that produces exceptional sound and projection even when played acoustically. Plugged-in is where the A8 truly excels. The individual RMC saddle transducers run through an RMC preamp voiced specifically for the A8.
