Godin 5th Ave Kimgpin II

Testing a brand new Godin 5th Ave Kingpin II Archtop. Direct through Fly Rig 5 and mixed with acoustic sound. A sweet sound indeed. Open Eb minor.

nice playing! I have a kingpin i, they are sweet! I have it with flatwounds 12s though, the guitar rocks the jazzy vibe aswell!

[@fatknucklefreddy]

@@icps86 it sure does. Great guitar

[@bleuxmoose]

Awesome playing and tone. Ive always wanted to learn slide; its just so dynamic and the timbre is just amazing on the godin!

[@fatknucklefreddy]

The Godin is so perfect for slide. Thank you. The slide is so expressive and gets you away from the frets as you can play slightly in front or behind to get the true interval

[@rayojuanin]

Dammn, sir! Your playing is out of this world

[@fatknucklefreddy]

Thank you!!!

Fantastic playing

[@fatknucklefreddy]

Thank you very much.

How would you compare these humbuckers to other brands as far as tone? Im torn between getting this or the P90 version. I like the idea of no 60-cycle hum..... but i don't want my tone too dark. I really want to get an archtop with some bite!

[@fatknucklefreddy]

I prefer the P90s. Middle position to cancel hum. They’re a bit more clear on this guitar. The HBs are not that dark but the P90s have extra clarity

[@jonathananthony1901]

@@fatknucklefreddy thank you so much!

[@mainsblanches8793]

Super cool!!...presently looking into this type of guitar!!...nice feeling even at an acoustic level!!...amazing indeed!!...

[@fatknucklefreddy]

The Kingpin is incredible and very versatile . Great for slide, jazz, blues, rockabilly, rock n roll and fingerpicking.

Dog gonnit! I just found this video and the playing is fantastic! Great sound too! Are you using some special strings on that guitar? It almost sounds acoustic! I love whatever it is you're doing on it! Great playing!

[@fatknucklefreddy]

Thank you so much. I used a mic too to mix the acoustic. The strings are either pure nickel or Flatwound. I think this is flatwound. I regret selling the guitar. If I buy again I’ll buy the P90s. Thanks for listening

Awesome sir you rock

[@fatknucklefreddy]

Thank you very much.

[@realrobarmus]

Great playing and tone !

[@fatknucklefreddy]

Thank you so much. I just released a new acoustic album on Bandcamp “Corruption, Deceit, Murder.” Gonna make a video today. Again thanks 🙏

[@amirirani-tehrani9749]

Is the guitar miced up?

[@fatknucklefreddy]

A mic and a direct clean sound from a Tech 21 Fly Rig. I brought the mic in for a bit more clarity

[@southboygreen]

very underrated

[@fatknucklefreddy]

Thank you very much

Thank you

vampire western sounding

[@fatknucklefreddy]

Very true!!!

[@no59do56]

Look like a Eric Sardinas slide ??

[@fatknucklefreddy]

It’s a Dunlop Harris Slide. Curved. I believe they’re very similar.

[@watchingthecrazyworld7761]

Well, I could play like that too if I were you. Pfft, big deal.
