About Hybrid Guitars

A Hybrid Guitar offers  a world of blended sound textures

This is clearly what many are shooting for when searching out a hybrid guitar. It is the ability to sound convincing on both sides of the spectrum. I credit that to its two-chambered body and under-saddle pickup. It has one magnetic pickup at the neck with bass and treble tone controls. The active under-saddle pickup has a Three-band EQ, which does a great job of shaping the acoustic tones to resemble an electric/acoustic guitar. I've tested it alongside an array of acoustics in my shop, and the Godin A6 can hold its own. Side by side comparisons with the Taylor T5 and its body sensor pickup and Michael Kelly Hybrid Special, the Godin A6 acoustic tone is the winner in my book. 

You can make that guitar sound like many different instruments. That would be great for recording or performing songs that need a keyboard player using your guitar. You can also program different strings to sound like different instruments. 

Hybrids are simply the best way to go as far as getting a good tone-to-vol ratio for places that require a bit more volume when feedback might be a problem.  

It's a lot less to carry and you don't have to stop the show every song to switch guitars.
