Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Fantastic

Beautiful guitar, excellent playability.
Beautiful sound both connected directly to an acoustic amplifier or through the GR-55.
My new favorite!

Godin acs-sa slim

Great guitar I was wanting a midi pickup with minimal latency this guitar delivers. Having small hands slim model makes playing really comfortable, nylon strings much easier on the fingers than steel strings. Sounds and tones of guitar just plugged into a powered speaker are awesome. I use this guitar with a Roland gr55 and a ketron sd90 in a one man band. Very glad I purchased this guitar and sweetwater sales team Todd Cotten always great to deal with!

An old fingerstyle player’s reaction!

I've been playing steel-string dreadnoughts for 49 years. Arthritic hands, and a pesky torn left bicep led me to try nylon strung guitars a couple years ago. Standard nut width classicals are too wide for me. Until now, the Cordoba Fusion was the most comfy nut width I had found… and I still like it.
But, this Multiac slim is like going from a dreadnought to a Telecaster! Actually, the learning curve is definitely there, but in a great way. The 1.715" nut width is so narrow that it's the biggest challenge.
I think finding the hardest tension strings, like D'Addario XHT Pro Arte EJ44 is a good game plan for acoustic steel string players transitioning to nylon.
The other adjustment is going from an acoustic to a shallow body electric. But, if you already are used to electrics, you've already managed that!
The only thing I'd caution anyone about is not to confuse the chambered body to mean you can expect any acoustic projection at all. But the under saddle pickups are capital "I" Impressive. I've been playing through a Fender Acoustic100 amp, and a Roland Mobile Cube. Sounds great through both. Go for it!

Fabulous Instrument

This is the best guitar at this price on the planet! The playability is amazing. It sounds so nice through an amp. I own many high-end guitars and this has become my go-to instrument! I can't put it down.

Godin ACS-SA Slim

So this is my second Godin the 1st being a XTSA Koa. I did my homework and decided to go for this model. Loved the thinner width of the neck,and reall like to use the neck position markers. I use both outs as I always use 2 amps. One is connected to Roland's GR-55 the other connected to a Line 6 240watt (stereo model). The other connected to a Fender I00 watt ( this also has 2 -12's) that utilize the synth.
Haven't played out with this set-up yet but I'll update soon. Being a stereo amp It really makes this guitar sound remarkable. Godin really outdid themselves with this Slim model. No mis fire notes at all with the GR-55. Not to bad with the XTSA either but out of Fender my Rick, other Godin This is me favorite. I'll try to send out a you sample soon. A no brainer price the intonation is spot on. I will get a hard case for this soon.
