Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | It's a Godin Multiac.
I have one of those, but mine is a steel duet duo model. Great guitars. Multiacs have chambered bodies...looks like a solid body "telecaster" style, but is an acoustic guitar. Has piezo in the bridge, and internal mic. On the top "horn" is a slider 3 band eq, a blender of the pickups, volume, presence knob, and 2 notch filter knobs.
Very easy guitar to play. The most popular of these have nylon strings and synth access.
I see them frequently in concerts on tv. India Arie's band uses them, and Steve Stevens (of Billy Idol fame) used them exclusively for his flamenco solo album. They are very easy to record with as well.
Robert Matarazzo, a local player, turned me on to them. He uses them pretty much exclusively, and often switches from acoustic rhythm playing to distorted lead playing within one song with much success-due to the guitar's ability to vary sound and not feedback. They typically are set up for extra light guage strings, so it's much easy to bend strings.
