    $800 Canadian for a Tele with some nice ergonomics, a cheap paint job and made in Canada. That sounds like a really nice package from a company whose guitars I've generally gotten along with well in the past. That sounds like it has some potential for a cheap win but finding out the specifics on things like the neck profile has turned out to be something of a challenge. Anyone tried one?

    I feel your pain. I am seriously interested in a Montreal Premiere, but I need to know more before I could ask the store to request one from another branch at the other end of the country. The Godin website says it weighs fifteen pounds, which I do not believe, and tells me the fretboard radius but not the profile.

    I owned a Montreal Premier. It weight under 7 lbs. I believe that was considered typical.

    That must be the weight for the guitar in the case!
