Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin P90 Archtop – Cognac Burst

Description

There’s a reason old jazz and blues players loved a good archtop, and the Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin P90 captures that vibe without demanding vintage-instrument money. Carved from Canadian Wild Cherry, the body is a true molded arched top and back design, not a flat-top pretending to be something else, and it shows in how the guitar responds under your hands. Classic F-holes, an adjustable bridge, a floating pickguard, cream binding, and a contoured high-gloss headstock round out the old-world details, all finished in a rustic Custom Polished finish that gives Cognac Burst a satin glow rather than a glossy shine.

Acoustically, this thing has more low-mid punch and projection than a typical archtop, so it holds its own whether you’re fingerpicking Delta blues or comping jazz changes unplugged. Plug in, though, and the single Godin Kingpin P90 takes over, delivering that unmistakable single-coil bark: present, clear, and just a bit gritty when you dig in. It’s equally at home in alt-country twang, slide work, smoky jazz, or straight-up rock riffing.
