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.



Height-adjustable rosewood bridge.

Modern touches like chrome-plated hardware and a gloss-black headstock. 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.
