A unique acoustic voice





Godin is a guitar company devoted to using local materials to build its guitars. The Rialto Q-Discrete guitar is no exception. Its back and sides are built from laminated Canadian wild cherry, which offers a unique, articulate tone. Add in the solid Sitka spruce top, and you get lovely projection and sustain, making this guitar a fine choice for blues. The guitar is rounded out by a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard that sit perfectly in the hand. Whether playing onstage, in the studio, or hanging around at home, Sweetwater guitarists concur: you’ll love how the Rialto Q-Discrete sounds.





EPM Q-Discrete electronics give you great plugged-in tone





Feel free to take your new Rialto Q-Discrete guitar to your next gig. This acoustic-electric guitar is loaded with Q-Discrete electronics, which takes advantage of an under-saddle pickup paired with a preamp located inside the body. Plug into your PA speaker or acoustic amplifier, and the Q-Discrete electronics deliver an accurate and engaging sound that effortlessly slots into the mix. The Rialto Q-Discrete guitar comes with top-mounted master volume and master tone controls for easily tweaking your sound.





Ultra-comfortable body size





Parlor-sized guitars are favored by legions of acoustic instrumentalists. Why is that? For starters, they’re perfectly sized for comfortable playing, standing up, sitting down, or even lying on the couch. What’s more, the small body is easy to play and hold for players of all shapes, sizes, and ages. On the sonic end of things, parlor guitars also have a unique sound. The parlor body shape produces less bass than a dreadnought or concert-style guitar, giving you a nicely focused midrange that pleases the ear.
