The Godin two-chamber concept applies itself beautifully in the A8. The A8 has caught the attention of many of the top mandolin players in the world who are delighted to have access to great sound, at any volume, for the first time.

Godin A8

Mahogany/Spruce Construction

As with all of the A-Series instruments, the A8 mandolin mixes traditional tone woods with modern design concepts and electronics. The two-chamber body is routed from a solid block of mahogany and capped with a solid spruce top. The top is voiced with a unique combination of X and fan bracing that produces exceptional sound and projection even when played acoustically.

RMC Preamp

Plugged in is where the A8 truly excels. The individual RMC saddle transducers run through an RMC preamp voiced specifically for the A8. An on-board, three-band EQ lets you dial in just the sound you're after, and as with Godin's guitars, the chambered design helps supress feedback, even at higher volumes.

Two Finishes Available

The A8 is available in two colors: Natural with a satin finish or Cognac Burst with a high-gloss finish.
