Description
Godin’s 5th Avenue Kingpin P90 Left-Handed brings the character of a golden-age archtop to left-handed players without the vintage price tag or vintage fragility. Built around a Canadian Wild Cherry body with a molded arched top and back, this guitar has more low-mid punch and projection than a typical acoustic archtop, so it holds its own whether you’re strumming unplugged or running through an amp.
The single Godin Kingpin P90 pickup is where this guitar earns its versatility. Expect clear, present tones with a bit of grit and attitude baked in — equally at home in Delta blues, slide, alt-country, jazz comping, or straight-ahead rock. It’s a pickup that rewards dynamics, responding to how hard you dig in rather than flattening everything into one texture.
Details that mark this as a proper archtop include:
- Adjustable bridge for fine-tuning action and intonation
- Classic F-holes for that traditional archtop look and resonance
- Contoured, high-gloss headstock
- Floating pickguard
- Cream binding around the body
The Cognac Burst finish is applied as a Custom Polished satin sheen, giving the guitar a rustic, lived-in look that nods to 19th-century instrument making rather than a glossy modern shine. Combined with left-handed availability — not always easy to find in an archtop — the 5th Avenue Kingpin P90 makes owning a North American-built archtop a realistic option rather than a distant dream.
