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.
