You have a hollow archtop body, one pickup and volume and tone controls — everything you need to explore the guitar’s natural character without an array of switches getting in the way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditional archtop character\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Canadian wild cherry body features a moulded arched top and back, with classic f-holes, cream binding and a floating pickguard completing the vintage appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn acoustic archtop offers a different experience from a conventional flat-top acoustic. Its more focused, percussive response lends itself particularly well to rhythmic chord playing, blues phrasing and jazz accompaniment. Godin has designed the 5th Avenue to provide greater low and midrange projection than traditional acoustic archtops, giving it useful presence for playing unplugged at home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA P90 with warmth and bite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe neck-position Godin Kingpin P90 brings that acoustic character into an amplified setting. Expect the warmth associated with a neck pickup, alongside the definition and bite that make P90s so appealing for blues and roots playing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe controls are refreshingly straightforward. Use the tone control to soften the sound for mellower jazz passages, or leave it more open for a clearer, more direct voice. Your amplifier and playing touch will help shape the result.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComfortable, practical playability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe silver leaf maple neck carries a rosewood fingerboard with a relatively flat 16-inch radius. Combined with the 24.84-inch scale length and 43.7mm nut width, it provides a familiar playing platform for guitarists moving across from an electric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe adjustable Graph Tech TUSQ bridge allows the string height to be tailored during setup. The supplied .012–.052 nickel-wound strings include a wound third string — a useful detail to be aware of if you normally play lighter electric strings with a plain G.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn understated vintage finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Vintage Burst finish suits the instrument beautifully, while the Custom Polished semi-gloss surface gives it a gentle sheen.
