Combining the soul of yesterday with a forward-thinking design, the Godin 5th Avenue Jazz archtop guitar is ideal for the uncompromising jazz player. Get ready for dynamically rich tone with plenty of projection, courtesy of the Canadian wild cherry archtop top, back, and sides. As you plug into your favorite amp, the 5th Avenue Jazz's floating mini-humbucker gives you sweet, mellow tone with excellent sustain. And thanks to the cutaway, you can grip the silver leaf maple neck and enjoy easy access all the way up the sweet-playing rosewood fingerboard of the Godin 5th Avenue Jazz archtop guitar.

A solid choice: Godin 5th Avenue Jazz

by Richard from United States
March 8, 2013
Music Background: hobbyist
I was skeptical that the Jazz, at about twice the price of many other models in the 5th Avenue lineup, would prove worth it. But this guitar delivers. For a brand new instrument, it has a remarkably m... read more [+]ature sound, a nicely rounded tone, clean attack and good sustain. It's a breeze to play, and the fit and finish are spot on. Seems like a great option for an emerging-but-serious student, or even a veteran player looking for something presentable that can be carried to jams with less worry than a high-end archtop. Definitely a solid choice. close [-]
