Essentials to Know About the Godin 5th Ave TL Kingpin P90 Tr Cream HG Cream Guitar
- Hollowbody Thin Line: fully hollow body in a thin format, for ample resonance and great expressiveness.
- P90 Pickups: a classic, warm, and lively tone, ideal for roots, blues, jazz, and vintage rock sounds.
- Responds beautifully to the amp: particularly comfortable with a low to medium gain tube amplifier.
- Made in Canada: designed and manufactured in Godin's workshops.
An Hybrid Inspired by the Montreal and 5th Avenue Series
The 5th Avenue Thin Line is conceived as a synthesis between the archtop spirit of the 5th Ave series and the more electric approach of the Montreal series. The result: a medium-sized hollowbody guitar with an elegant "cream" look, capable of delivering the organic character of a hollow body while maintaining precise response when plugged in.
For Whom, and For Which Styles?
This Godin is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for an expressive and musical hollowbody that is easy to integrate into a modern rig. It excels in jazz (round and airy tones), blues (nervous and dynamic attack), vintage rock, and roots genres where playing nuances need to remain front and center.
Tone
Thanks to its fully hollow body, the 5th Ave TL develops natural resonance, an "acoustic" feel under the fingers, and a very lively response to attack. The sustain remains controllable, allowing precise shaping of each note, from muted playing to more emphasized phrasing. Plugged into a low to medium gain tube amp, it reveals a rich harmonic spectrum with warmly blended timbres. The P90s add just the right amount of bite and grain while maintaining a nice roundness, and the guitar can generate a controlled feedback at higher volumes for additional expressiveness.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
For optimal use, plan for a strap, a good quality 6.35 mm jack cable, a tuner (pedal or clip-on), and a stable guitar stand for home or stage.
