The LGX-SA is a three-voice guitar featuring electric and acoustic guitar sounds, plus the infinite possibilities provided by synth access. The output from the bridge transducer system in the LGX-SA produces six separate signals—one for each string. This divided signal is called hexaphonic and is used to drive guitar synths. The LGX adapted itself to this application quite easily. However, in addition to the electronic modifications, the guitar itself was altered in order to achieve the best possible performance. The most visible difference between the standard LGX and the LGX-SA is in the ebony fingerboard. The use of the ebony fingerboard improves synth tracking. Guitar synth systems in the past were technically complicated and required radical changes in playing technique. The LGX-SA/RolandTM GR-synth combination represents a new standard in user friendliness and performance. This is truly a 'plug in and play' system.

Mahogany Body

The body of the LGX-SA is made from a blend of two tonewoods.  A mahogany body capped with a figured maple carved top.

Mahogany Neck

Honduras Mahogany has a long history as the tone-wood of choice for acoustic guitar necks. The same properties that give mahogany its appeal in an acoustic guitar namely a warm harmonically rich sound have a similar effect in a solid body electric guitar.




On-board preamp with three-band EQ for adjusting acoustic output.



Features three separate outputs/sounds: electric, acoustic, and 13-pin for Roland GR synths & other 13-pin devices.

Neck Fit/Pitch

The angle of the neck attachment--called pitch--has a huge impact on sound, a slight tilt forward will cause the guitar to sound boomy, a slight tilt backwards can make the guitar sound tinny. Equally important is the fit of the neck into the body. Godin guitars are renowned for tight-fitting neck attachments that support excellent neck/body energy transfer and precise neck pitch.

Godin Ergocut

The LGXT neck features Godin's "Ergocut" shaping technique, which bevels the edges of the fingerboard and frets back in towards the center of the fingerboard, providing an extremely comfortable "worn-in" feel.

Ebony Fingerboard

The ebony fingerboard on the LGX-SA not only contributes to a more focused sound, but also helps to optimize the guitar's synth tracking capabilities.

Locking Tuners

The LGX-SA features front-loaded locking tuners, for easy string change and better intonation.

Built-in Preamp

The built in active pre-amp for the bridge transducers is powered by a single 9-volt battery accessible via a small compartment on the back of the guitar.  Preamp may also be powered by 13-pin +/-7V phantom power. The pre-amp is activated when the guitar is plugged in.

Electric Voices

The LGX-SA delivers electric sounds via 2 Seymour Duncan humbucker pick-ups (SH II jazz in the neck and a Custom III in the bridge) thanks to a special 5-way switch set-up, extra meaty humbucker tones co-exist with glassy single coil sounds in the second and forth position.

Acoustic and Synth Voices

Turn down the electric volume and raise the volume on the RMC transducer saddles and the LGX-SA becomes an incredibly authentic-sounding 'acoustic' guitar. The acoustic voice of the LGX-SA is enhanced by an onboard preamp with a three-way graphic EQ. The two outputs are set up so that the electric and acoustic voices can be blended by using a single patch cord, or at the amp/mixer using both outputs.

The third voice on the LGX-SA comes in the form of its synth tracking, which Godin is known for. As with all of Godin's synth-ready instruments, a built-in 13-pin connector provides direct access to all Roland GR-Series synths as well as most other 13-pin devices.
