    UTILIZATION

    Channel Godin, say anything, if we can get action DSIR trs low fawn shred, which is not the purpose of this style of scratching, and it is easily playable up me in 15 case (in view of the form) and the guitar is great but lgre balance

    SOUNDS

    The sound is typical trs:
    in acoustics: sound a little more equilibrated than others (Gretsch) but still blues (very roots) jazz, trs trs it works well on the pump a jazz and blues rockab little you can really attack the strings without the sound does s'crase or lose its balance and if we attack the sound output, it can be used to accompany an acoustic singer without problem

    in electrical: the trs soft jazz typ powerful but not trs trs balance. She can play the blues but will always sound like jazz trs. I quietly test lgr crunch passes without feedback and with a nice color. To compare it plutt cot as ES 175 335

    sustain seems longer than the Selmer style jazzettes but it works even when

    OVERALL OPINION

    Lai I bought yesterday
    compared to my other guitars is terribly diffrent is a bit for me the missing link between my Guild D55 which is the ultimate acoustic and my old Gibson 335 which is trs blues.

    acoustics, it is a sound balance cradouillant trs when pinched with even a little lower
    in electric: jazz is more than 335 but still a nice little cot old school but with a handle and a balance-art I'm a little more cautious for the blues, I'll try to see by repeating

    is anything but go anywhere, it is essential to try before you buy because I think we love or we dtest but there will be no half shade and little guitar will like it very s trs typ Annes 40 / 50

    say anything about finishing (normal in Godin) our friends at Gibson should do an internship in Canada! The guitar out of the box perfectly silent and just RULES

    by or against tui no cover and good morning to find one because frankly the bridge Exceeds

    SOUNDS

    Made out of Canadian cherry wood, the body of this 5th Avenue has a curved top and a molded back, an adjustable bridge, standard F-holes, profiled glossy headstock, floating pickguard and cream bindings. The beautifully polished finish looks great and it reminds me of superb 19th century French finishes.

    The new Godin Kingpin P90 single-coil pickup produces a classic Vintage sound with strong presence, clarity and character!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I tested the 5th Avenue model without a pickup and I would like to meet somebody who owns the version with pickup to hear how it sounds...
