The ERG121GPII is a great starterpack for the beginning musician! The set contains all necessities to play the guitar: a guitar, an amplifier, a strap, a string winder, plectrums, a tuner, a softbag, strings, and a cable. The guitar has a HSH configuration, which means that the neck and bridge pickups are humbuckers, whereas the middle pickup is a single coil. Humbuckers sound warmer and fuller and are mostly suited for distorted playing whilst single coils are more prone to interference and sound best clean. The ERG121GPII is thus a versatile starterpack!

The set contains an HSS guitar, which means it has two single coil pickups and a humbucker. A humbucker consists of two single coils that are connected out of phase, and produces a warmer and fuller sound that’s excellent for distortion. This set is thus very versatile!

Godin

Godin is a Canadian company who make professional and innovative guitars. Their guitars are relatively sustainable, as well. Almost all their wood comes from North-America, which means they don’t participate in the deforestation in South-America. Their guitars are made by hand by the best luthiers in Canada, which means they can guarantee high quality guitars.

Archtop

An archtop guitar means exactly that; the body has a slight curve to it, instead of being completely flat like most guitars. Another aspect of an archtop guitar is that there are two F-holes on either side of the bridge. This construction was inspired by violins and produces an amazing sound. The two symmetrical F-holes make it easier for the sound to vibrate and project. With F-holes, an arched construction is necessary, as the soundwaves will not properly move without a round edge. This also means that archtop guitars are hollow, otherwise the archtop construction will have no effect. The archtop construction is quite popular because the added resonance and projection produce a beautiful, airy, and full sound. Whereas solid body guitars predominantly produce sound with the vibration of the strings over the pickups, with a little added resonance on the top of the body, hollow-body guitars have more resonance and will thus also sound less ‘flat.’

The 5th Avenue CW Kingpin II

The 5^th Avenue CW Kingpin II is also made of the best materials. The guitar has a Canadian wild cherry body. This is not only quite sustainable, but it also produces beautiful sustain and a warm tone. Cherry also produces a nice articulated sound, but it’s not too loud. The neck is made of silver leaf maple and the fingerboard is made of rosewood. This is a great combination which results in a comfortable experience and a beautiful sound. The guitar has two P90 pickups. These are single coil pickups that have a wider magnet than regular single coils. This means the sound is fuller than regular single coils but not as full as humbuckers. As such, P90s are great for balanced or versatile guitarists.

The Montreal Premiere LTD Desert Green

The Montreal Premiere LTD Desert Green is an amazing guitar. It doesn’t only look unique due to its Desert Green Colour, but the guitar also contains a Bigsby tremolo system and two Seymour Duncan P-Rails. These are strange pickups, as they are humbuckers that consist of a narrow Hot Rails single coil and a vintage P90. These pickups were designed to be able to produce a super versatile guitar. This is because the humbuckers can be split into either a P90 or a single coil. The guitar has a Canadian wild cherry body, which sounds warm and articulated. Furthermore, the guitar has a mahogany neck and a rosewood fretboard.

SOUND POSSIBILITIES

The Stadium HT Trand White is a solid body guitar by Godin. The shape is based on the legendary Telecaster, although the Stadium is a little rounder. The guitar has two single-coil pickups, of which one is located in the metal of the bridge. The metal gives a different resonance which adds a lot of twang to the pickup. The neck pickup articulates quite well and has a vintage tone. The hardware is also of high quality. The saddles are even made of brass, which gives the guitar a warmer sound.

MATERIALS

The body of the guitar is made of basswood. Basswood is a softwood with great sustain. The neck is made of maple and had a rosewood fretboard, which articulates well and has a neutral appearance. What is also quite noticeable, is that the guitar doesn’t have a pickguard. Godin managed to hide all the wiring underneath the bridge and the control plate, which gives the guitar a professional and luxurious appearance. The Stadium HT Trans White is an amazing and unique guitar!

Sound

The Session R-HT Retro Orange is a beautiful solid-body guitar. The shape is inspired by the legendary Stratocaster, although the Session HT has a round shape. Furthermore, the guitar has two single-coil pickups and a humbucker pickup, which means the guitar has many different sound options. The humbucker sounds warm and full, and will have less feedback. The Single-coil pickups will sound brighter and cleaner. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and by installing them on the same guitar, you’ll have all the different possibilities on one guitar. With the five-way switch, you can decide which pickups you want to use. The three pickups can be used individually, but also in different combinations.

Materials

The guitar is also made of great materials. The body is made of basswood. This is a lightweight tonewood with sufficient sturdiness to be a body. Furthermore, basswood is very common which makes it quite sustainable. The guitar has a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. This is a popular combination because it creates a sturdy and comfortable neck. Additionally, they have used the best materials for the hardware. For example, the guitar has a set bridge and sturdy tuners, so the guitar's tuning is always reliable.

We have one Session R-HT Retro Orange that has been signed by Simon Godin!

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.

Hollow-Body

This guitar is a hollow-body guitar. This means that the guitar is a combination of an acoustic and an electric guitar. A hollow body has both a hollow body as well as pickups and knobs. The vibration of the string resonates in the body and on the hollow wood, after which the resonance is caught by the pickups. This results in a beautiful and unique sound; hollow body guitars have a full and bright sound. This is different from a semi-acoustic guitar, as that’s simply an acoustic guitar with an acoustic pickup, meaning the sound is solely acoustic. Due to the pickups on hollow-body guitars, many different types of sound are possible. Consequently, they are also ideal for solos and riffs. Furthermore, the sound holes on hollow-body guitars are usually on the sides instead of in the middle, which means the resonance will sound different as well.

Archtop

This 5^th Avenue is also an archtop guitar. An archtop guitar means exactly that; the body has a slight curve to it, instead of being completely flat like most guitars. Another aspect of an archtop guitar is that there are two F-holes on either side of the bridge. This construction was inspired by violins and produces an amazing sound. The two symmetrical F-holes make it easier for the sound to vibrate and project. With F-holes, an arched construction is necessary, as the soundwaves will not properly move without a round edge.

The archtop construction is quite popular because the added resonance and projection produce a beautiful, airy, and full sound. Whereas solid-body guitars predominantly produce sound with the vibration of the strings over the pickups, with a little added resonance on the top of the body, hollow-body guitars have more resonance and will thus also sound less ‘flat.’

The 5^th Avenue Jumbo P-Rail Harvest Gold

The 5^th Avenue Jumbo P-Rail Harvest Gold is also made of the best materials. The entire body is made of Canadian wild cherry. Cherry produces a nice sustain and a soft and warm sound. The guitar has a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. This a great combination that produces a bright sound and a comfortable playing experience. The guitar also has a Jumbo body, which means it’s a bit bigger than a regular hollow-body guitar. This means the body has more room for resonance. Furthermore, the guitar has a Seymour Duncan P-Rail neck pickup. Seymour Duncan is an American company that’s considered the best at producing guitar pickups. The P-Rail consists of both a humbucker and a P90. This means that you can combine the sharp and bright sound of a P90 with the warm and full sound of a humbucker. The pickup can also be split.

5th Avenue Jumbo HB Memphis Sun

This guitar is the successor of the classic 5th Avenue but with a deeper Jumbo body which produces a deeper and warmer sound. The guitar is suitable for many genres, including jazz, blues, and rock. This is also due to the double humbuckers. These are double coil pickups which produce a fuller and tougher sound. The entire body is made of Canadian cherry for a bright sound. The guitar has a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard.
