The best instruments have a way of connecting the past to the present, and the Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin does exactly that. Available at Haggerty’s Music, this used hollowbody captures the spirit of the great archtop guitars of the 1940s and 1950s while offering the reliability, playability, and value modern musicians demand. Finished in a rich Cognac Burst, its elegant curves, classic F-holes, and satin sheen evoke the golden age of jazz clubs, blues halls, and smoky stages where hollowbody guitars first made their mark.

Built in Canada using Canadian Wild Cherry for both the entire body, the 5th Avenue Kingpin delivers a lively, resonant voice with impressive projection and warmth. Acoustically, it offers a rich low-mid response that exceeds many traditional archtops, making it equally at home for fingerstyle arrangements, rhythm accompaniment, or expressive lead work. The comfortable Silver Leaf Maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth playing experience, while the fully hollow construction allows the instrument to breathe with every note.

Plugged in, the Godin Kingpin P90 single-coil pickup brings the guitar’s vintage personality to life. Clear, articulate, and full of character, it captures everything from warm jazz tones to gritty blues growl with remarkable authenticity. Whether you're exploring roots music, country, rockabilly, jazz, or blues, the 5th Avenue Kingpin delivers a versatile tonal palette that feels equally at home on stage, in the studio, or relaxing on the couch. Complete with a Seagull gig bag, this Canadian-made hollowbody is a wonderful example of Godin’s ability to blend vintage inspiration with modern craftsmanship.
