Godin A6 vs PRS Piezo
I've scoured the forum and read up on both guitars. I guess like many who want a hybrid, I'd like to switch between acoustic and electric sounds, and even combine them. This would be for stage use, normally bars and coffeeshops with ambient chatter. I'm not looking for a pure acousitc tone, close is fine.
I have a Multiac SA nylon, and love the neck on that. And have a Seagull dread, nice neck. So I like the Godin necks. However, on paper, the PRS neck sounds great and I know its a shorter scale. I'm looking to buy used, probably through GC, the prices are pretty close. I can't play either, I'd have to order. Any recent thinking on the preferences between these 2 guitars? Oh, I bought and returned a T5z. Fantastic gutiar (I have a 712), but the neck was (way) too thin for me. That is why the PRS sounds promising with its wide fat neck. THANKS!

Hi @DoryDavis - Just some thoughts from my experience.

I played a PRS HOLLOWBODY and thought it was very inferior. I bought a Godin Montreal older model with Piezo and two humbuckers. It's a 2006 in mint. It vastly superior to the PRS. Just saying. It is heavy so i will be sitting down with it.

Yes, I wanted to like that T5 so badly, it arrived in great shape, not great but okay deal on it... i don't know why they make those necks so darn thin...

I looked at the Montreal's, those are cool guitars. Do you get a good 'acoustic' sound out of the piezo on yours?

The reason i bought the Montreal is because the piezo provides the best acoustic tone of the many guitars I tried. It blends with the two humbuckers really well too. The acoustic tone can be eq'd with the separate on board sliders for good acoustic tone. I also use a LR Baggs preamp with eq etc. Cole Clark has a hybrid guitar that seems nice but costs a lot.
