The Toon Montpellier was designed to achieve the sound of both the Oval hole Selmer guitar and also the D hole Maccaferri guitar in one guitar depending on the strength with which the strings are played.
This also allows the Montpellier guitar to be versatile for other jazz styles.
The guitar has a modern feel with a comfotable "C" profile neck and is equipped with 24 frets joining the body at the 14^th. The offset elliptical soundhole combined with the open bracing system gives this guitar a tremendous volume and tone. The guitar produces clear ringing trebles with a sharp attack, smooth balanced bass and also a great sustain when required.

The Montpellier guitar is played and also endorsed by John Etheridge (Sweet Chorus) and Blake Wilner (the Puppini Sisters and Blake Wilner Group). You can hear the Montpellier guitar on the album "Small Hotel" by John Etheridge - Sweet Chorus
