In this review, I talk about my experience with two Godin electric nylon guitars, as well as with the Cordoba Studio Negra.

I returned my first Godin ACS Cedar Natural to Sam Ash music store primarily because of 4 reasons: discomfort due to the longer neck, the higher E-string slipping off the fretboard, the twangy sound of the instrument and the overly bassy sound of the lower strings.
I was able to replace the Cedar Natural with Godin’s new Grand Concert HG Natural (model number 12817 wc), and now am very satisfied with it. The neck does not present any discomfort, there’s much less twangyness, no slippery slips off the fretboard, and significantly less bass and more natural sound. This guitar is an absolute pleasure to play! I’m still very happy with with my other electric nylon guitar, the Cordoba Negra (Studio model).
My only gripe with it is the somewhat higher action around the 12th fret (upper register) – I find it much more fatiguing to play than my new Godin guitar or my other primary jazz guitars – the Eastman AR 805 CE and the Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II.
