Got mine a few weeks ago (kingpin i), the fretwork is on point on mine! The overall quality is really nice, so I am also surprised based on the price. I have experience doing fretwork on my guitars and building guitar kits on my own (as a hobby), so I think I have decent appreciation of finishes and stuff. Sound-wise is exactly what I was looking for a woody warm sound in the middle of an electric and acoustic. Really nails that Grant Green P90 sound!

Right on! Glad you got a gem. Thats how line guitars work. Some are gems and some stink. These p90s do sound great for sure.

Rough fret work can be a drag. I always test guitar neck by running a finger along the side of the neck. If it feels like a hack saw, then the fretwork is lacking.

Ya for sure any sharp edges can mean poor fret work or also shrinkage.

New guitars dry out over time. When I first got my Kingpin II it was summer of '20. Of course, I gave it a good inspection on arrival. All was great, including the frets, which were beautifully done and polished. Deep into winter, the home heat really dries the house. Even with a humidifier in the music room, I got neck shrinkage and fret sprout on several guitars, the Godin included. I was actually surprised at the amount of sprout on the Godin. I figured the dry season (in the house) was the best time to address the fret ends. Very easy to do and didn't take long. I'm glad I did, it has not returned, going on the 3rd winter now. I don't get the noise that you talk about from the bridge. I assume you've checked all the hardware, nuts, etc.

New guitars dry out over time . . . that would not make it a new guitar then. The guitar is brand new shipped direct from Godin. Frets are not dressed or polished. I am not talking about shrinkage. Your recommendation to check hardware and nuts leads me to believe you are not quite sure what I am even talking about. Glad you like your guitar and didnt get a dud!

Great looking guitar. Too bad it isn't where it needs to be for playing 😢

Its decent for basic playing but whoever forgot to do the frets is on another level.
