Thinline

The Montreal Premiere is a thinline guitar. Thinline guitars fall under the hollow-body categorization. Hollow-body guitars are electric guitars with large sound boxes, in which the vibration of the string resonates in the sound box and is then picked up by the pickups. This creates a beautiful and unique sound. This combines the full and warm sound of an acoustic guitar with the power and versatility of an electric guitar. Thinline guitars are basically an improvement on this. After the production of hollow-body guitars it soon became clear that the guitars were very large, which could sometimes be uncomfortable, and that the guitars suffered a lot from feedback. Thus, the thinline was invented. The thinline also has a sound box, but it is a lot thinner, so that the resonance is still good, but the guitar is also a lot more comfortable. Thinlines are mainly popular among jazz guitarists, however thinlines are becoming increasingly popular in other genres.

The Montreal Premiere

The Montreal Premiere is a great guitar due to its set-neck and short-scale neck. Furthermore, the guitar is also very versatile which means it can be used for many genres. The entire body is made of Canadian wild cherry, which has great sustain and a warm, articulated sound. The guitar has a mahogany neck and a rosewood fretboard. This is a great combination which produces a nice sound an a comfortable experience.
