Godin Introduces the Montreal Premiere

Press Release

The Godin Montreal Premiere is a thinline, semi-hollow body electric and the latest addition to the brand’s Signature Series.



Montreal, Canada (October 29, 2012) -- Godin Guitars has added a thinline, semi-hollow electric guitar to their lineup of Canadian-made instruments. Here are the details from their press release:

Montreal based Godin Guitars is proud to introduce its latest 6-string creation; an innovative, stunning beauty that is only equaled by its sonic prowess…The Godin Montreal Premiere.

The Godin Montreal Premiere is a thinline, semi-hollow body electric and the latest addition to the brand’s Signature Series. It features a Canadian wild cherry top, back and sides, with an innovative spruce “breathe-through” carved core. This unique feature promotes free airflow through the interior center block, in turn, making the Montreal Premiere a supremely resonant and vibrant guitar. “Over two years in the making, the insides of the Montreal Premiere are what make it so special. Its breathe-through core is truly the soul of this guitar. It’s so alive and has a spirit all its own. You have to play it to believe it,” says Godin’s Sales & Marketing Manager, Mario Biferali.

The guitar’s resonance is harnessed by a pair of Custom Godin Humbucker pickups, delivering a boatload of serious rock & blues tones. A no-nonsense set up, comprised of a 3-way toggle switch along with volume & tone knobs, control the overall sounds. Other features include a 24 ¾” scale, mahogany set-neck with rosewood fingerboard, double-bound binding, high-gloss custom polished finish, contoured high-gloss headstock with high-ratio vintage style tuners, and ResoMax bridge system by Graphtech with stop tailpiece. Color options include: Natural HG, Trans Red HG, Trans Black HG and Sunburst HG.

A Godin Montreal Premiere with Bigsby® B70 tremolo option is also available. The Bigsby® model features a tune-o-matic style bridge with roller saddles and Trans Red HG finish.

The Godin Montreal Premiere starts at a suggested US list price of $1795.00 and is now available to order.

Sounds like a must have. I did it all wrong & bought a 5th Avenue Uptown on impulse over the 'net, without trying it first - I haven't regretted it for a second. A joy to play, a brilliant instrument, manufactured with love & attention to detail - ultimately far better than guitars I've played in the 2 - 3 grand category.

I have a flat-five-x.. I'm definitely gonna check out the website and specs of the Montreal to see how it differs, other than just the finish. I like my flat-5, other than I wish the humbuckers would run a little hotter (but I like their tone)... I just have to crank it up louder to get the same volume, relative to other guitars that I have. ¶ I know my flat-five also has the Piezo pickup.

Beautiful Guitar and I visited Godin(on line ) a few days ago(after reading this and downloaded Version 1 of a Guitar Guide plus a few User Manuals of other Guitars and The Performance Series , Great Guitars and well made, Interesting Company, started with parts made in Canda and assembled in New Hamshire, then some made entirely in Canada , and some in ? Quebec (also Canada but a bit different in views politically ) * a great web site too I like the "Oud " (? spelling ) and Ultra 6 as well as models that they have made for some time and refined (and have 13 pin SA) also
