The Godin Montreal Premiere is a classically styled semi-hollow electric that combines high quality hardware and workmanship at a price point that is very attractive for a North American made guitar. Lively, clean, and easy to play, the Godin Montreal is a versatile instrument that brings the virtues of semi-hollow tone within the reach of every player.

Godin has a knack for providing outstanding value and quality, and the Montreal Premiere is no exception:

The Godin Montreal Premiere is a Guitar Player Magazine "Editors Pick" and a great addition to Godins line of set neck guitars that began back in 2010 with the Icon (now Summit) series. Featuring semi-hollow cherry construction, the Montreal produces clean, airy tones in a thinline format.

While cherry may not qualify as a "classic" tonewood to traditionalists, it turns out to have some very attractive qualities. Cherry is acoustically loud, clean and produces a very clear midrange with nice upper end detail. Sonically it is crisp like maple but with a little stronger bottom end. The grain is pretty nice too, and the fact that it is domestically available in Canada helps to keep the cost down.

The nickel plated Godin humbucking pickups (made by GB pickups) are moderate in output, and are the same ones used in their previous Montreal model, and the 5th Avenue Uptown. These pickups complement the cherry construction, and are naturally clean, with good note separation, a smooth top end, and a slightly soft attack that makes them easy to modulate. The Montreal is devoid of the sometimes heavy, muddy midrange that afflicts many humbucker guitars and works very well for clean rhythm playing and snappy lead work. Rolling off the tone control provides a smoother jazzier side, but the Montreal never gets particularly woody sounding. The boosted and distortion tones are lean with a lot of top end sparkle and harmonics, and are well suited to crunchy blues and fusion more so than the chugging low end needed for harder styles of music. The spruce center core effectively manages any feedback issues, so you can crank this guitar without fear of it howling.

As with all the Godin set neck guitars, the neck profile is comfortable medium-C profile and the fretwork consists of nicely finished medium frets and a factory setup that affords low action that is virtually buzz-free even when played aggressively. Godin guitars are very consistent out of the box (or gig bag), and require very little -- if any -- adjustment to get them dialed in.

While the Godin Montreal Premiere does not break any barriers in modern guitar design, its an attractive and nicely crafted instrument that is well suited to pop, rock, fusion and jazz styles of music. If you are a fan of famous 335 players like Larry Carlton and Lee Ritenour, the Godin Montreal can get you into the zone at an extremely attractive price.
