The Kingpin looks every bit the period piece, with its traditional non-cutaway archtop body and unbound f-holes. Its wild cherry laminate top, back and sides have a very distinctive, highly figured grain pattern, and have been custom finished to look not unlike a traditional French polish. In keeping with the retro look, the heavy single body binding comes in a dark cream, which perfectly complements the Kingpin’s tobacco-stained sunburst face.
