Eighteen tuned, metal t<strong>in</strong>es <strong>are</strong> attached to<br />

the brace below the bridge on the<br />

Acousticaster. The sympathetic vibration of<br />

the t<strong>in</strong>es comb<strong>in</strong>es with the vibration of the<br />

str<strong>in</strong>gs and solid spruce top to produce a rich<br />

acoustic sound drenched <strong>in</strong> harmonics. The<br />

Acousticaster was the orig<strong>in</strong>al <strong>God<strong>in</strong></strong> guitar to<br />

use the two-chamber design <strong>in</strong> an<br />

acoustic/electric guitar and the first guitar to<br />

produce acoustic guitar sound with electric<br />

guitar feel.<br />

A few years ago, Robert <strong>God<strong>in</strong></strong> became<br />

<strong>in</strong>trigued by the grow<strong>in</strong>g ranks of guitarists<br />

that were experiment<strong>in</strong>g with the Oud. The<br />

Oud is a fretless, Middle-Eastern <strong>in</strong>strument<br />

that uses 11 nylon str<strong>in</strong>gs. The scale is very<br />

short and the tun<strong>in</strong>g is not the same as a<br />

guitar. Enter the Glissentar with guitar<br />

scale—25 ½” —and standard guitar tun<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

The Glissentar is surpris<strong>in</strong>gly easy to play<br />

and opens the door to the microtonal sounds<br />

of Asian and Middle Eastern music.<br />
