You are bidding on a used Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin II in like new condition. It combines the style of old-world arch top guitars with modern playability, electronics, and given the this instrument sells new for nearly $1,000 or more it's available here at a great price. Constructed of all Canadian Cherry, the Kingpin is bright, lively and brings a fresh new sound that makes this more than just another jazz box. Hand crafted in Princeville, Quebec, the Kingpin is solidly built with an emphasis on both functionality and understated elegance and features: Canadian Cherry top back and sides 24.8" scale maple neck with 16" radius Rosewood fingerboard Two Godin P90 pickups Cognac Burst Finish with cream binding Adjustable compensated TUSQ graphite bridge Floating pickguard Schaller strap lock buttons Weighs 5 pounds Includes Deluxe Godin TRIC hardshell case The Cognac Burst model is not always easy to come by and it's easy to see why. The glowing sunburst shows off a very nice Cherry grain pattern and the grain matching on the back is especially attractive. Instead of the black pickguard used on other 5th Avenues, Godin uses a copper-ish tortoiseshell pickguard on the Cognac Burst model that really makes it look like a million dollars. The cherry body projects a lot of volume with full bass, bright snappy highs and plenty of sustain. The neck pickup is warm with lots of bottom end without being muffled. The neck + bridge combination screams rockabilly, and is really the sweet spot for the Kingpin. Much like a Gretsche, but with more punch and less anemic. The bridge pickup has plenty of bite, and like most P90's has a thick but edgy overdrive sound. And because the body is hollow not semi-hollow, just turn towards the amp for a little feedback on demand (Anyone remember Ted Nugent and his hollow body Gibson Byrdlands?). While obviously not a shred machine, the neck is great for chords and plays well up the neck too. While the factory installed .012 string set may feel a little "manly" to the average electric player, those looking for more rock guitar feel could easily throw on a set of .010's or .011's and still get plenty of volume. Overall this is bold and lively guitar that has capabilities beyond its conservative looks. While it's perfectly suited to Jazz or more mellow styles of music, the P90 pickups give it the punch and edge to be a great roots or rockabilly machine. This is a used Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin II in like new condition. You'll not be able to see any difference between this instrument and a new one. Happy bidding!!
