A twangy acoustic cannon. This Godin Rialto is a modern take on the original parlour body. It's built to be picked, strummed, and to handle your individual technique. Although it's compact, and superbly comfortable to play, don't be fooled by its size. It has a unique ability to deliver a rich and spectacularly big sound that belies its size. Not to be underestimated.
And, like traditional parlours, the Rialto excels when playing blues, roots music, folk, and a multiple fingerstyle techniques. But, it's also perfect for putting your own spin on acoustic performance thanks to its astonishingly dynamic and versatile nature. Play with comfort, play with freedom. It's Canadian craftsmanship with an unmistakable feel, tone, and look you won't find elsewhere.
Pristine live sound. Equipped with EPM Q-Discrete electronics, the Rialto Electro Acoustic gives you a sensational gigging experience. This is thanks to electronics that pickup your Rialto's natural acoustic tone. Bringing you a rich, distinctive sound to your next show or studio session. You won't be disappointed.
And, with a superb design, you can easily tweak your tone. Never worry about trying to reach your upper bout or soundhole for controls again. As with this vintage-styled design, you can adjust your live tone, and volume with one quick movement. And, thanks to the Rialto's solid wood build and optimised bracing, your live sound is majestically pure, rich, and utterly distinctive. Play it once, you'll want to play live with it forever.
