The 5th Avenue CW Kingpin is Godin's take on the archtop jazz-style acoustic, complete with classic looks: Canadian cherry in a black finish, a floating pickgaurd and cream binding, and the requisite F-holes. But with modern touches like a pair of P90s, a deep cutaway, and a height-adjustable Tusq bridge by Graphtech, it lets you keep one foot in the past and the other firmly in the present. A Modern Update on a Vintage Gem The Godin 5th Avenue brings you back to a time when the archtop acoustic guitar reigned supreme. With the soul of a 1950's archtop, the 5th Avenue is a true vintage spirit of yesterday with today's level of modern playability. With more projection and volume in the low/mids than traditional archtop acoustic guitars, the dynamically rich tone of the 5th Avenue makes this sophisticated instrument a dream to play, but not a nightmare to pay for. From Alt-Country, Delta Blues, Slide, Jazz to Rock, the 5th Avenue can really deliver. The CW version of the Kingpin adds a pair of Godin Kingpin P90 single-coil pickups, delivering all that classic, vintage tone with presence, clarity and a little attitude thrown in for good measure. Add a cutaway for higher-fret access, and you've got an axe that's plenty versatile. Godin P90 single-coil pickups. Adjustable Tusq bridge by Graphtech. Classic Construction Made from Canadian Wild Cherry, the body of the 5th Avenue features a molded arched top and back, as well as classic f-holes, a contoured high-gloss headstock, floating pickguard and cream binding. Also, the rustic beauty of its Custom Polished Finish creates a gorgeous satin sheen, reminiscent of the French polish of the 19th century. A height-adjustable rosewood bridge lets you dial things to perfection, and the silverleaf maple neck--featuring Godin's "ergocut" shaping technique--is a pleasure to play. 5th Avenue CW Kingpin Specs Top: Canadian Wild Cherry Back and Sides: Canadian Wild Cherry Binding: Cream Neck: Silver Leaf Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood Adjustable Tusq Bridge by Graphtech Radius: 16" (40,6 cm) Scale: 24.84" (63 cm) Nut width: 1.72" (4.6 cm) Pickups: 2x Godin Kingpin P90 Single-Coil Electronics: Three-Way Toggle Switch, Volume, Tone Finish: Black
