"Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin Archtop Hollowbody Electric Guitar With P-90 Pickup " by Ken Katz - 7/4/2009 4:38:07 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: Hobbyist Smooth Jazz Manchester, NJ 2 people out of 2 found this review helpful A beautiful guitar, I purchased the Cognac Burst. It is a bit darker than the picture. The only difference acoustically from the Fifth Avenue is that it requires electric guitar strings instead of the acoustic strings. I prefer 10's on this making it easy for leads, doublets, and triplets. The sound is still great acoustically with well balanced warm tones and excels for Jazz using the single coil pickup with the warm tones and well balanced response on string volume. It would have been nice if there were cut a ways to reach higher frets, but they were trying to create the early jazz guitars. It is well made, sounds great, easy to play with the 10's and a great addition to my collection. Was this review useful? "Fantastic!" by Greg - 9/22/2009 9:20:45 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: hobbyist rock, blues, folk Chicago, IL I love this guitar. Godin makes a nice range of guitars, all made in North America. This one has a great feel and sound to it. A great way to add an archtop to your collection at a decent price, and it sounds much better than many older archtops ever did. The P90 pickup is a great addition. Very highly recommended!
