Godin - Connaisseur MJ Natural RW + Etui

The Godin Connaisseur MJ Natural RW is a mini-jumbo guitar made in Canada, born of Godin’s craftsmanship for musicians who value instrument-making as much as the feel of playing. Its high-gloss natural finish elegantly showcases the carefully selected woods. Its solid Engelmann spruce top combines with a solid rosewood back and sides to create a rich acoustic response and a distinct projection. It’s the sort of instrument that makes you want to play just one more tune before putting it away.

The mini-jumbo body shape offers a different feel under the arm whilst retaining a beautiful tonal presence. The mahogany neck naturally follows the movement of the hand, whether you’re playing open chords or more technical passages. The ebony fingerboard and bridge complete this design, providing a precise playing feel. The 16" radius, 25.5" scale length and 21 medium frets combine to create a comfortable setup for long hours of practice.

When you plug the guitar in, the new Natural Sound NS3V passive pickup comes into play. This 3-sensor system is designed to capture the nuances of your playing with a faithful reproduction of the acoustic sound. A simple volume control is all it takes to quickly adjust the output level to suit the situation. Another welcome feature is that this pickup operates without a 9V battery, so you don’t have to worry about battery life before a gig or a rehearsal.

The bone nut is part of this meticulous craftsmanship, right down to the finishing touches. The D’Addario XSAPB1253 strings, in .012-.053 gauge, complete the setup of this model. The Connaisseur MJ Natural RW perfectly reflects the craftsmanship of Godin in Canada, with equal attention paid to both materials and playing experience. If you’re looking for a guitar that prioritises feel, rich acoustic tone and faithful amplification, this model definitely deserves a place in your collection!
