Members Oldskool Texas Posted July 4, 2010 Members Share Posted July 4, 2010 Been GASsing for a Kingpin for awhile now, so I pulled the trigger when I saw that MusiciansBuy.com was selling it for $664 with the TRIC case. Awesome deal and an awesome guitar! I'll post a vid or some clips - the P-90 ROARS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted July 4, 2010 Members Share Posted July 4, 2010 Looks familiar. Awesome score! Hope you dig yours as much as I like my 5th. I can't put mine down. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oldskool Texas Posted July 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 4, 2010 Thanks, guys! EG, I haven't stopped playing it all day. I really think Godin knocked this one out of the park - just for grins, I spun the bridge wheels down to see what would happen if I gave it just silly low action. No fret buzz anywhere on the neck - and it's almost dead flat, with no relief. I doubt they PLEK these, but mine plays like they did. Next, I put a little gain on the amp, and the thing flat-out screams. I was afraid it would sound too muddy with the neck P-90 only, but it's clear and bright -- definitely woody and hollow, but I sure don't miss having a bridge pickup. This may be the perfect blues guitar. Holy crap. I feel like I stole it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted July 4, 2010 Members Share Posted July 4, 2010 I did the same to my bridge. Same result. Those guys know how to build a guitar. ...And mine will have a minibucker on it pretty quick. Glad you love it. I predict Godins will be pretty sought after down the road. As far as I'm concerned, they're making some of the best gear around these days. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frets99 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Agreed! An excellent and sweet P90 pickup. The guitar itself plays as good as any electric guitar out there. Tone control is useful for dialing in a terrific spanky tone to a velvety mellow tone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Orange Jackson Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 Is it a blues voiced pickup, or could you also do some really clean jazz with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woody_in_MN Posted July 6, 2010 Members Share Posted July 6, 2010 It reminds me of the 5th Ave EG just got - except for the P90. I bet you she sounds SWEET. 4 paws up from Lamb Chop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oldskool Texas Posted July 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 6, 2010 Is it a blues voiced pickup, or could you also do some really clean jazz with it? I dunno... sounds like a P-90 to me! With the right amp settings and playing technique, it can pretty much do anything from Wes to the Reverend Billy G.
