Godin has done it again! Their 5th
Avenue arch top guitar has become one of the most popular arch top models
to come through our shop in a long time. A year after its release, they
added a version with a single P90 pickup. This new model, called the Kingpin,
once again became an instant hit amongst players. Now, Godin is taking
this idea even further.
The new Kingpin CWII model offers
an additional P90 pickup in the bridge position, as well as a cutaway for
upper fret access. All of the features that have made the 5th Avenue series
so popular are intact: the incredibly comfortable soft "C" shaped neck,
the clear articulation of the string attack, the warm 'thump' to the lower
midrange, the nice light body weight. The result is a guitar that offers
a nice range of electric tones and great acoustic performance. Above all
else, it is simply a blast to play.
We are expecting the Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin
CWII to arrive sometime late in September. If you are as excited as I am
about this guitar, it is going to feel like a long wait!
UPDATE: They're
here! The Godin 5th Kingpin CWII
is now in stock. Take a look below at the beautiful Cognac Burst
finish.
