May 18th, 2008 | Acoustic Guitars |
What a cool looking, classy guitar. While the name may not be as familiar as the Gibson, the Godin 5th Avenue is not some cheap knock-off, but a solid guitar it it's own right.
The archtop acoustic guitar style used to be the only electric guitar style you could buy. Imagine that, a day before the flying V! Ah, the days of simplicity. Some of the features you will find on the Godin 5th Avenue are (review continued below...)

Before I had ever played an archtop I always wondered whether or not it would project any sound. What is amazing about the archtop design of the Godin 5th Avenue is amazing.
