Godin

Godin is a Canadian company who make professional and innovative guitars. Their guitars are relatively sustainable, as well. Almost all their wood comes from North-America, which means they don’t participate in the deforestation in South-America. Their guitars are made by hand by the best luthiers in Canada, which means they can guarantee high quality guitars.

Archtop

An archtop guitar means exactly that; the body has a slight curve to it, instead of being completely flat like most guitars. Another aspect of an archtop guitar is that there are two F-holes on either side of the bridge. This construction was inspired by violins and produces an amazing sound. The two symmetrical F-holes make it easier for the sound to vibrate and project. With F-holes, an arched construction is necessary, as the soundwaves will not properly move without a round edge. This also means that archtop guitars are hollow, otherwise the archtop construction will have no effect. The archtop construction is quite popular because the added resonance and projection produce a beautiful, airy, and full sound. Whereas solid body guitars predominantly produce sound with the vibration of the strings over the pickups, with a little added resonance on the top of the body, hollow-body guitars have more resonance and will thus also sound less ‘flat.’

The 5th Avenue CW Kingpin II

The 5^th Avenue CW Kingpin II is also made of the best materials. The guitar has a Canadian wild cherry body. This is not only quite sustainable, but it also produces beautiful sustain and a warm tone. Cherry also produces a nice articulated sound, but it’s not too loud. The neck is made of silver leaf maple and the fingerboard is made of rosewood. This is a great combination which results in a comfortable experience and a beautiful sound. The guitar has two P90 pickups. These are single coil pickups that have a wider magnet than regular single coils. This means the sound is fuller than regular single coils but not as full as humbuckers. As such, P90s are great for balanced or versatile guitarists.

Hollow Body

This guitar is a hollow body guitar. This means that the guitar is a combination of an acoustic and an electric guitar. A hollow body has both a hollow body as well as pickups and knobs. The vibration of the string resonates in the body and on the hollow wood, after which the resonance is caught by the pickups. This results in a beautiful and unique sound; hollow body guitars have a full and bright sound. This is different from a semi-acoustic guitar, as that’s simply an acoustic guitar with an acoustic pickup, meaning the sound is solely acoustic. Due to the pickups on hollow body guitars, many different types of sound are possible. Consequently, they are also ideal for solos and riffs. Furthermore, the sound holes on hollow body guitars are usually on the sides instead of in the middle, which means the resonance will sound different as well.

The 5th Avenue Night Club Indigo Blue

The 5^th Avenue Night Club Indigo Blue is a beautiful hollow body guitar by Godin. It’s a remarkable guitar as it has a beautiful dark blue colour with a classy Bigsby system and a noticeable pickguard. The beautiful appearance of the guitar is comparable to its sound. The guitar only has one pickup: a TV Jones Classic. This is a vintage humbucker that produces a bluesy sound. As such, the guitar is very suitable for guitarists that prefer a vintage sound. The body is made of Canadian wild cherry which provides great sustain and a warm sound. The guitar has a silver leaf maple neck and a Richlite fretboard. Richlite is a synthetic tonewood that provides the same playing experience but doesn’t require maintenance. Richlite is also more sustainable as most tonewoods that are used for fretboards are vulnerable woods.

The 5th Avenue Uptown Custom Havana Brown

The 5^th Avenue Uptown Custom Havana Brown is a unique guitar, not only because of its captivating appearance but also because of its unique pickup configuration. The guitar has a P90 in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge. This is a rare combination but it sounds fantastic. The P90 will sound a little sharper and brighter, ideal for more articulation and noticeability, whereas the humbucker sounds a little deeper, warmer, and fuller. The combination of these two will result in a full yet sharp sound. The guitar's body is made of Canadian wild cherry, which is sustainable and produces a warm sound with great sustain. The guitar has a maple neck and a Richlite fretboard. Richlite is a synthetic alternative for tonewood that is more sustainable for the environment and your instrument's quality. It feels just like authentic tonewood but it doesn’t have to be maintained.

The guitar has a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard.
