Godin Unveils New Montreal Premiere HT Laguna Blue Guitar
This smartly-finished semi-hollow boasts a Seymour Duncan/Godin pickup combo.
Fresh off the announcement of two new acoustic guitars – the Metropolis Composer QIT and Fairmount CH Composer QIT – Godin has unveiled its new Montreal Premiere HT Laguna Blue electric.
The Canadian-built guitar features a breathe-through carved cedar core in a Canadian wild cherry semi-hollow body, a mahogany neck, and a rosewood fretboard with a 24.75” scale.
Sonically, the guitar boasts a Seymour Duncan/Godin pickup combo, with a Seymour Duncan Jazz SH-2n in the neck position and a Godin Custom Humbucker at the bridge.
Built in Canada, the guitar is also outfitted with a Graph Tech ResoMax hard-tail bridge.
The Godin Montreal Premiere HT Laguna Blue guitar is available now for $1,795.
