This is listed on Reverb and Gear Exchange with many more photos.
I've owned this excellent Godin crossover nylon string since 2014. For a couple years, I got a chance to gig with it a handful of times. It's easy to play, with high fret access, stays in tune, and the mic imaging is pretty effective. I'm finally getting around to listing it for sale, largely because I've been working on switching to carbon fiber guitars, but also because a guitar this nice should be played regularly. I've included photos of some cosmetic imperfections (photos are on my Reverb and Gear Exchange listings). The guitar functions perfectly. Original padded gig bag included. I just installed new bass strings, and am including some sets of nylon strings, and a Reverb clip-on tuner (remember when they were selling them for $2 or whatever it was?). Note: This not the synth access (SA) model. Asking $875 on here plus shipping.
Manufacturer listing (from their HG version):
The Multiac Nylon Duet Ambiance features state-of-the-art custom electronics by Fishman, which allow the player to select between 4 individual mic settings. Choose between these blendable sound imaging mics via the 4-way switch. Ideal for players looking for an incredible amplified nylon string sound and feel in a live and loud band setting with virtually no feedback.
The Multiac Duet Ambiance nylon string also features a 25 ½” scale and slimmer nut width than the classically inspired Grand Concert Duet Ambiance, making it easy for electric steel string players to transition to nylon strings. This model features a chambered mahogany body with a solid spruce top, as well as a dual source preamp with feedback control and an undersaddle transducer.
Here is a brief description of the controls for the Multiac Duet Ambiance System.
Volume : This is a master volume that will control the output from the guitar. This volume is independent of the Mix so it will control the overall volume without affecting the Mix.
3 Band EQ: Treble, Mid and Bass controls to help shape the amplified sound.
Output Jack : The 1/4” jack turns on the battery when plugged in and turns the battery off when removed.
Blend : This mixes the mic presets and the undersaddle pickup. With the slider completely toward the neck, the mic is at full volume and the undersaddle pickup is completely removed. With the slider completely toward the bridge, the undersaddle pickup is at full volume and the mic is completely removed.
Mic imaging 4-way switch : The Duet Ambiance features state of the art custom electronics by Fishman, that allows the player to select between 4 individual mic image presets. Choose between these blendable sound imaging mics via the 4-way selector switch.
Mic image#1: Danish Pro Audio small diaphragm condenser mic.
Mic image#2: Soundelux E47 large diaphragm condenser mic.

Mic image#4: Schoeps CMC64g small diaphragm condenser mic at a distance of 16”
*4-way selector switch positions (1 through 4) go from top to bottom in playing position
Phase Switch : Changes the polarity of the signal to keep the guitar top and the loudspeaker out of phase relative to each other.
