Every year for two weeks in July, the city of Montreal is transformed into
the worlds largest Jazz club. Montreal's love affair with jazz was
the inspiration for Godin's latest guitar, which is fittingly named,
Montreal. The Montreal is the latest in a series of two-voiced guitars from
Godin that marry the electric sound from traditional magnetic pickups with
the acoustic sound from saddle transducers in the bridge.
The two-chamber
body of the Montreal is carved from a solid block of Mahogany and capped
with a carved solid mahogany top adorned with two F-holes and cream binding.
The 22-fret, 24 3/4 scale, neck is also fashioned from mahogany, and shaped
for comfort by means of Godin's ergocut technique. Hardware is
black and gold including, two Godin humbuckers, a bridge loaded with
L.R.Baggs transducer saddles, and an on-board preamp EQ. The two humbucking
pickups produce an extensive range of sounds thanks to a special 5-way
switch that provides five distinct tones on its own. Add in the bridge
transducers and the palette of sounds becomes very large. The two outputs are
set up so that the electric and acoustic voices can be blended in the guitar
using a single patch cord or at the amp/mixer using both outputs.
