Parlor-sized Godin A/E with Eye-popping Modern Styling

The Godin Rialto JR Satina Gray HG Q-Discrete is a deceptively small acoustic-electric guitar with full-sized tone and eye-popping modern styling. Its solid Sitka spruce top yields a broad dynamic range and direct, punchy tone, while its Canadian wild cherry body lends a clean articulation to your playing. What’s more, the mid-forward character of its parlor-sized body cuts through a busy mix like a hot knife through butter. Its Richlite-capped silver leaf maple neck supplies easy playability that complements its comfortable body. The Rialto JR delivers top-notch amplified tone, thanks to EPM Q-Discrete electronics. An attractive high-gloss finish completes the Rialto JR Satina Gray HG Q-Discrete.

Comfortable parlor-sized body yields a great midrange-focused sound

The Rialto JR features a parlor-sized body. The parlor body style is narrower and shallower than a dreadnought, which makes it comfortable to play, especially for smaller guitarists. It’s devoid of the booming lows that can muddy up a performance, which makes it a popular choice for acoustic blues players and singer-songwriters. What’s more, the Rialto JR’s midrange-focused sound really pops out in a busy mix, making it a great choice for tracking in the studio.

EPM Q-Discrete electronics yield amazing sound onstage

Godin is renowned for incorporating groundbreaking pickups into their acoustic-electric guitars, and the Rialto JR is no exception. Take this parlor-sized marvel onstage, and you’ll enjoy rich, natural acoustic tone, thanks to its EPM Q-Discrete electronics. And — taking a cue from tried-and-true electric guitar designs — the Rialto JR’s volume and tone controls are located conveniently on its top, making tonal adjustments a piece of cake. The electric guitarists here at Sweetwater love using the Godin Rialto JR Satina Gray HG Q-Discrete live — it provides an effortless transition from our main instrument.

Rated 5/5

Truly a classy looking parlor with a lot of tone

First look what a beautiful looking guitar. Wasn't sure about the gloss finish but once I saw it I loved it.
Tones all day long on this Parlor. Blues box that really feels great in your hands. The pickup is very nice and you can get pretty gritty with this guitar plugged in with the right amp and settings. Over all it's my first Godin guitar and I've owned many brands but these guys get it from what I see and hear. Very impressed with this build a blast to play and what a looker. Musician friends that have tried it all have told me what a killer guitar . Keeper for sure

Great little guitar

Has a beautiful chimey character to the tone. You can really hear the articulation of your playing. Its great for fingerstyle and melodic lines. It's not a small guitar that's trying to sound like a dreadnought. It's just a really well made parlor and it sounds like it.
