Frequently Asked Questions
The Godin Kingpin P90 is voiced slightly hotter and clearer than many vintage P90s, offering more output and a more defined high-end response.
The neck has a comfortable 'C' shape, but the 44mm nut width might feel a little snug for those with very large hands; it's generally quite manageable though.
While it's fantastic for cleaner tones, the P90 can get a little buzzy with extreme high gain; it’s best suited for moderate overdrive and classic amp tones.
