Blogging Ottinger (tim)Godin Montreal
So beautiful it makes you cry:
Tell me it doesn’t make you want one!
This is a dual-voiced beauty. I would just love to play with one of these for a week or two. I may someday be able to afford it or one of its little brothers, when I have the time to play with them. It’s another guitar that’s almost too beautiful to play, if you didn’t want to play it so badly!
Above the left F-hole you can see the sliders for the acoustic guitar (piezo) pickups. The flat space on the lower right of the body is where the plugs are (yes, plural: one for acoustic, one for electric). I didn’t play the Montreal, but I played a few others, and they had dual (or triple) plugs on the body, and also a switch to make the electric pickup plug handle a mix of electric and acoustic. It really was a very cool sound (played through a good amp).
If you are curious, click on the image and check out the specs. Oh, look! We have the hot rodded humbucker set again! Seymour rocks. Love those Duncans.
My acoustic guitar is a Seagull, which is the same company as Godin. It’s a cheap yet good guitar. It replaced a Yamaha that cost nearly the same but wasn’t nearly as good.
Guitars ‘n More in Indy (corner of 86th and Allisonville Road, just north of our old employment digs) is a dealer. If you find yourself back in Indy, you might stop by and get lucky.

That’s quite a drive from Antioch, IL. I had better find a dealer up in Chicagoland. Well, it’s not like I’m going to buy one this month or next.
