Made in Canada
The 5th Avenue CW Kingpin II HB features a Cutaway body design and the added sounds of two Godin Humbucking pickups, which deliver all that classic vintage tone with presence, clarity, and a little attitude thrown in for good measure!
With the soul of a 1950s archtop, the 5th Avenue is a true vintage spirit of yesterday with today’s level of modern playability. With more projection & volume in the low/mids than traditional archtop acoustic guitars, the dynamically rich tone of the 5th Avenue makes this sophisticated instrument a dream to play but not a nightmare on your wallet. The Godin 5th Avenue Series now makes the dream of owning an affordable North American archtop a reality! Whether you play Alt-Country, Delta Blues, Slide, Jazz or Rock, the 5th Avenue can really deliver both acoustically and electrically.
Made from Canadian Wild Cherry, the body of the 5th Avenue features a molded arched top and back, as well as an adjustable bridge, classic F-holes, contoured high-gloss headstock, floating pickguard, and cream binding. Also, the rustic beauty of its Custom Polished Finish creates a gorgeous satin sheen reminiscent of the 19th century.

Godin guitars are unique because from forest to stage, they are North American. In fact, and we are very proud of this, all of our manufacturing is done in our own factories, located in Quebec. This allows us to maintain complete control over every step in the creation of your next instrument. By doing so, Godin's designers and craftsmen ensure the highest possible level of quality, while adding their own personal touch, guaranteeing that your instrument is built in a manner that is state-of-the-art.
From the installation of the frets to the final stages of sanding, there is more hand work done on Godin guitars than on any other guitar available in specialty shops. When you buy a Godin, you are supporting a proud Canadian family business.
Canadian made, and globally played.
