Godin 5th avenue with Lollar P90

[syo]

I hadn't seen this thread until now. What an incredibly cool guitar. Gassed enough that I immediately looked up the price. Amazing! I can't wait to try one out next month. Congrats and Merry Christmas!

There are rumours (possibly unfounded) on the interwebs that Godin will be offering a cutaway version-maybe a two P90 model at some point.

I always like to see what they reveal at NAMM in January.

New video review of the acoustic version. Mine is also a cognac burst.



Mine has the same blusey feel, but with the added vibe of the P90.

Here's another by mojocaster. This one is sung in French.

I'm still in love with this guitar. It's got a sproingy bounce that is a lot of fun to play. It really wants to groove & swing. it's kind of like playing percussion & guitar at the same time at least for the finger style blues that I am playing. The Lollar P90 is very sweet.

I just changed the strings for the first time. I wanted to condition the fretboard so i took off all the strings at once. I didn't want the floating bridge to move so I taped it down with low tack blue painters tape. That worked very well. the trapeze tailpiece caused me some trouble until I got the first string on as it falls off the guitar without string pressure.

I strung it with 13 flatwounds just to see how they sound. Very smooth strings. I need some more time to decide what I think about the sound.

Stalk? We have a hovering eye-sac.

Stalk...jeez how ugly can you get?

I hadn't seen that Rondo model Sumi.

New review of the Kingpin from Premiere Guitar. I play mine a bit dirtier than she does.

ES 125 vs Godin 5th Ave Kingpin

Here's a video comparing them

I have a 5th Ave with a Lollar P90, but mine sounds similar for the style that he's playing.
