A versatile nylon string guitar for any style!
The Hybrid CW is the nylon-stringed guitar for the acoustic-electric player who, like most of us, is
not necessarily a classical guitarist. As the name suggests, the Hybrid has mixed origins derived from traditional nylon-stringed
guitars and a desire to meet the needs of modern guitar players.
Hand-crafted in LaPatrie, Quebec, this smooth-sounding
nylon-stringed guitar features a solid cedar top, mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with a classical
2" (5.1 cm) nut width. However, this classical nut width won't seem so traditional when you feel the unique radiused fingerboard.
Not only does it allow for faster playability, but also for a new level of comfort not readily available on a standard classical
nylon-string fingerboard.
Although the Hybrid's neck width and string spacing are sized to classical guitar standards,
a truss rod allows for a thinner neck profile. Besides the new comfort of the radiused fingerboard, the Hybrid also allows
for access to the upper frets via a cutaway body. Some other esthetic goodies include cream binding, a detailed sound-hole
rosette and a hand finished, contoured headstock.
As with all acoustic models in the Godin family only genuine lacquer finish is used, allowing the top to breathe and vibrate
freely. This strong belief in applying genuine lacquer translates into a guitar that will experience and benefit from the
aging process...the more the instrument is played, the better it will sound over time.
For the gigging/working musician
the Hybrid CW comes standard issue with Godin Quantum II electronics and the innovative TRIC (Thermal regulated instrument
case) to thermally protect and securely house the Hybrid CW.
