Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin P90 [It's a boss, alright!]
Музыка
For a single-pickup archtop, Godin's 5th Avenue Kingpin P90 has a few surprises up its sleeve. When you see a full-size hollow body archtop with a neck pickup and a floating bridge, you're probably already hearing some mellow-toned jazz lines. This Kingpin, however, is packing brass knuckles. It can deliver a sweet traditional jazz tone, but it can also get nasty, swampy, and brawl in the back alley. The first time you hear that P90 heat up an amp, you're going to want to take it for a ride.
We've been big fans of Godin guitars for years, but those Canadians are packing more value into today's line than ever before. These are high-quality North American-made guitars at prices that'll knock your socks off.
This guitar would be a great choice for blues, rockabilly, Americana, or bottleneck slide in any style. Or jazz. It works swell for that, too.

Yesir. Doubled. Absolute wonder for slide...
Beautiful guitar. I have been wanting something with P-90 for a while and really like the simplicity of this one.
Great looking guitar, vintage look, sounds so cool.
Thank You! Had a kind of wistful smile on while you were playing. Been a loooong time since I've heard that tune performed in a laid back way like that..both jazzy and bluegrass at the same time. Bravo buddy. Great job :) !! P90's rock!
😊 got to have one sooner or later
Beautiful playing in this demo.
Lovely playing
That's one great looking guitar.💕
Beautiful playing
Nice demo thank you! Seems like a very stylish guitar that does a couple things really well. Mostly smooth clean tone stuff.
Came for a review, forgot about it listening to the great playing. Nice job!
Nice playing John - open D/E great choice, really suits the guitar...all the best from the UK
Got mine 2 years ago. Secondhand, for half of what they usually cost new! Love it to death. And it is perfect if you don't have big hands or just like smaller necks.
Thanks for the great post Sir. Wonderful playing on a fantastic guitar. I own the 5th Ave Kingpin ii & ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Unfortunately for my wallet, I’m now looking at buying another Godin. They make criminally underrated instruments that, to me, easily compete with and even surpass he quality of many of the BIG BRAND companies. Cheers 👍👍
Awesome review. Really like what you played . Always wish reviews would play clean without distortion and a song utilizing the whole fretboard. Nice job!!!

Kinda racist music though isnt it?
Just bought one of these from Moore Music and found this video afterward. Cool! I definitely like playing it.
For the price point I’m quite astonished honestly I was scared at first because it sounds like several thousands of dollars . Top notch demonstration as well ! 🎶☮️🎶💟🎶☯️🎶
WOW!!! ❤🎉
Great crossover from acoustic to electric!!...
Handles open tunings so well, that's why I grabed one!!...the Kingpin II P90 version!!...
Very nice guitar ;)
Sweet picking
Great playing! Awesome sounding guitar 🎸
Hermosa música, hermosa viola

Great video, and great playing, what is the size across the lower bout please, I have a case for my acoustic guitar (about 16 inches across the lower bout) and wonder if the Godin would fit in it), thanks in advance.
Nice
Really loved your playing. What was that first demo tune?
For th money sounds sweeeeet
Jazzed version of a Mississippi John Hurt alternating thumb Gospel tune? Rad.

I think this is more of a 1940s or even early 50s vibe than a 1920s or 30s.

Great price but I think some less twangy sound options would be wonderful.
How does it play acoustically?
Sleepiest guitar player on KZread. Someone get this guy some coffee!
Looks like a guitar Oscar Moore would be playing with the Nat King Cole Trio.

With a p90 the sound is not jazz, sorry
ATTENTION si vous achetez une Godin !!!!! J’ai acheté une 5th Ave Uptown Custom Havana Brown le 14/09/2023 à 1440€ et même pas deux mois après les frettes sont usées comme mes guitares qui ont deux ans et faire un glisser devient très désagréable tellement ça accroche😮. Je contacte la maison Godin qui me dit en résumé, ben, c'est normal😡🤬. Quarante ans de guitare pour entendre ça, quelle tristesse😫. Je précise bien que je ne suis pas un pro et que je ne passe pas toutes mes journées à jouer. Pour dire, la guitare a toujours toutes les cordes d’origine. Donc pour la maison Godin, tu changes plus souvent tes frettes que tes cordes. Heuuuu allo il y a des gens honnêtes dans cette boutique !?!? 😤😤😤😤😤😤 Voilà ma mésaventure avec Godin alors fêtes attention, c’est que du bizness et rien d’autre comme toutes les grandes marques, mais qui elles au moins vendent des guitares avec lesquelles tu peux jouer plus que deux mois. 😏😏Triste monde !!!! 😭😭

What's it suppose to sound like? It's a hollow body single pickup guitar. He did a good job demonstration the tone of it.
i would love to hear the guitar without the amp! i just want to hear the sound, if the size of the guitar it gives more bass!
