Archtop Jazz-Style Acoustic Guitar
Amazon.com Product Description
The 5th Avenue is Godin's take on the archtop jazz-style acoustic, complete with classic looks: Canadian cherry in a polished burst finish, a floating pickgaurd and cream binding, and the requisite F-holes. But with modern touches like a height-adjustable Tusq bridge by Graphtech, it definitely lets you keep one foot in the past and the other firmly in the present.
A Modern Update on a Vintage Gem
The Godin 5th Avenue brings you back to a time when the archtop acoustic guitar reigned supreme. With the soul of a 1950's archtop, the 5th Avenue is a true vintage spirit of yesterday with today's level of modern playability. With more projection and volume in the low/mids than traditional archtop acoustic guitars, the dynamically rich tone of the 5th Avenue makes this sophisticated instrument a dream to play, but not a nightmare to pay for. From Alt-Country, Delta Blues, Slide, Jazz to Rock, the 5th Avenue can really deliver.
Classic Construction
Made from Canadian Wild Cherry, the body of the 5th Avenue features a molded arched top and back, as well as classic f-holes, a contoured high-gloss headstock, floating pickguard and cream binding. Also, the rustic beauty of its Custom Polished Finish creates a gorgeous satin sheen, reminiscent of the French polish of the 19th century.
A height-adjustable rosewood bridge lets you dial things to perfection, and the silverleaf maple neck--featuring Godin's "ergocut" shaping technique--is a pleasure to play.

Godin 5th Avenue Archtop Jazz-Style Acoustic Guitar (Cognac Burst) Reviews
| 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful  Amazing!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Godin 5th Avenue Archtop Jazz-Style Acoustic Guitar (Cognac Burst) (Electronics) This guitar was amazing right out of the box. I was leery of buying a guitar on-line, sight-unseen primarily because I knew I would have to deal with setting it up myself. My first surprise was the guitar was nearly in tune already! I fine-tuned it and checked the intonation of each string at the 12th fret using an electronic tuner. Every string was perfect. The action and neck relief were already set just to my liking (there's plenty of differnce in personal preference on this point, but it was clear that the person who made the adjustments cared about getting it right). In short, the guitar came out of the box ready to play.Pictures of this guitar do not do it justice. My cognac burst model is absolutely beautiful. Its lines and proportions speak elegance and many small details put it in a class with much more expensive guitars. The satin finish gives the guitar a very rich woody feel. The wild cherry of the body is boldly grained and the grain is enhanced with a... Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Awesome Guitar!!!!, By Lance C. Risser (GRANTS PASS, OR, US) - See all my reviews This review is from: Godin 5th Avenue Archtop Jazz-Style Acoustic Guitar (Cognac Burst) (Electronics) I have had this guitar for a about 10 months now and I love it! I played a breedlove for a long time but always loved the sound to the old archtop style guitars. I tried this guitar and fell in love with it. It has a super smooth, easy-to-play neck, and awesome tone. I actually prefer the sound of this guitar over my breedlove. Definitely a great buy!ps... also a great slide guitar 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful Well worth the money...., Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Godin 5th Avenue Archtop Jazz-Style Acoustic Guitar (Cognac Burst) (Electronics) It's not an L-5, but it's not $10,000 either. I really just bought this on a lark, figured I could return it if it was a total dog. I've been playing it since it arrived in TWO DAYS. Now, I have more string instruments than fingers, Collings and Gibson among them, but this not so little Godin (fits tightly in a dreadnaught case) is developing a pleasing sound, is relatively well set up and easy tp play. The only thing I've noticed is the frets are a tad long. As the guitar gets humid the neck may swell to the fret ends, or I may have to have to have it tended to. Not disapointed at all. |
