Gallery: Montreal Guitar Show, part 1

Joe Coffey

In our first Montreal gallery, we check out the electric side of the show, which was new this year, with a few acoustics thrown in for good measure.

Potvin Guitars of Canada turned heads with Mike Potvin’s creative designs. Lee Bowie is holding the guitar Mike Potvin (right) designed for him. Inspired by a visit to Mexico, it’s a semi-hollowbody made of Mahogany, with a quilted maple top and a flamed maple neck. Bowie chose jumbo frets and Seymour Duncan pickups (Pearly Gates bridge, SLD-1 Lipstick). The red guitar is Potvin’s take on a traditional Iceman-style guitar. It has a lightweight mahogany body that is heavily chambered.
