Brand New Godin 5th Avenue Archtop, and case!
This guitar was professionally set up locally, and includes the case.
This is not a "drop ship" set up from the warehouses.
This Guitar was hand selected, and was meticulously polished with Dunlop Formula 65 and a micro-fiber cloth.
It has been played, but for minutes, and with the utmost care to assure its New condition.
No fret buzzing- A solid and consistent clearance for smooth, slick, and accurate play.
Godin is known for excellent quality control. This one was hand picked of several.
All "tortoise shell" finishes, (pick guard, and head stock) still have the protective plastic layer still on it. The guitar is FLAWLESS. No nicks, No scratches, No dings, No fingerprints, NO Nothing!!!
Here's Godin's summary:
A great deal of time & research went into crafting the 5th Avenue. Revoiced for the music of today, it would not seem unfamiliar for this instrument to be seen in the hands of artists the likes of Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Ryan Adams, or even Jack White (White Stripes). From Alt-Country, Delta Blues, Slide, Jazz to Rock, the 5th Avenue can really deliver.
Made from Canadian Wild Cherry, the body of the 5th Avenue features a molded arched top and back, as well as an adjustable rosewood bridge, classic f-holes, 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.
The Godin 5th Avenue….the archtop acoustic of the past, for today’s modern musician.

This 5th Avenue Archtop plays like a dream, and looks awesome in any setting. The "Cognac Sunburst" is NOT as red as the photos show. It is more of a Golden brown; The pictures would not do this guitar justice!!!
Don't wait for Christmas to reduce supply of the Cognac Sunburst.
DO NOTcompromise with the Black or Blonde colors. In person, they don't hold a candle to this color...not even close.
The 5th Avenue is Perfect for that experienced player who has always wanted a quality North American Archtop.......
Or for the beginner who wants a unique guitar that plays really sweet, and won't restrain him as he improves.
Put this Puppy under the Christmas tree with pride and confidence, the recipient will know it is new, and special.
The 5th Avenues are handmade in Canada of local Cherrywood. No "Pacific Partners" were involved!
Don't dismiss the 5th Avenue Custom fit case! You will WANT to bring this Guitar wherever you go. The Archtop is an odd fit for traditional cases, and the guitar is too nice to stuff in a soft bag.
Bid with supreme confidence, and check my feedback. I have never "stretched" a description, and always perform.
I encourage questions and communication. I will pack this professionally, and send it Fed-Ex Ground, at MY Cost, within 48 hours of payment.
Thanks for bidding, and good Luck!!!
