Immerse yourself in a warm, richly nuanced sonic world with Godin’s new guitar

Godin expands its catalog with the Mahogany Folk 12 Rustic Burst A/E, a 12-string model that combines the tonal warmth of mahogany with the precision of an integrated Fishman preamp. Made in Canada, this guitar embodies the brand’s artisanal tradition and enhances it with features designed for the discerning musician.

Design & construction

The “Folk” body of the Mahogany Folk 12 is built with premium mahogany back and sides, offering deep lows and natural projection, and capped with a solid mahogany top to maximize resonance. The Silver Leaf maple neck, joined to a rosewood fingerboard with a 16″ (406.4 mm) radius, delivers a comfortable and stable feel, while the 24.84″ (630.936 mm) scale length and 1.9″ (48.26 mm) Graphtech nut ensure ideal intonation and string spacing.

High-performance features

Equipped with 21 frets and Cleartone 10’s phosphor bronze strings specially calibrated for its 12-string setup (.010 .010 .014 .014 .023 .008 .030 .012 .039 .018 .047 .027), this guitar delivers a rich and balanced harmonic palette. The onboard Fishman Sonitone preamp facilitates easy connection to amplifiers or PA systems, ensuring clear and powerful sound in any setting.

Finish & presentation

The semi-gloss Rustic Burst finish accentuates the natural mahogany grain, giving an elegant, classic look that stands out in the studio and on stage. Additionally, each guitar includes a practical gig bag to protect it during transport and extend its lifespan.
