Product Description
The cutaway Godin 5th Avenue CW Kingpin II makes the affordable North American archtop electric guitar a reality! Its paired Godin Kingpin P90 single-coil pickups deliver classic vintage tone with presence, clarity, and a little attitude thrown in for good measure! With the soul of a 1950's archtop, the Godin 5th Avenue is a true vintage spirit of yesterday with today's level of modern guitar playability. With more projection and volume in the lows and mid tones than traditional archtop acoustic guitars, the dynamically rich tone of the 5th Avenue makes this sophisticated guitar a dream to play, but not a nightmare to pay for. From alt-country, Delta blues, slide, jazz to rock, the 5th Avenue really delivers both acoustically and electrically. It comes with case.

It's beautiful to look at, it plays very comfortably, it isn't a labyrinth of pesky buzzes, it sounds great acoustically, it has a classy, smooth finish (not the 1/4" of shiny plastic), and the P90 pickups sound really sweet. I am positively astounded that I could get a guitar this great at such a low price. I'm sure there are a number of other people who are in the same position I was... Read more |
