Product Description

Vintage Vibe, Modern Canadian Craftsmanship

Step back to the golden age of jazz and blues with the pure, acoustic soul of the Godin 5th Avenue. This isn’t your average dreadnought—it’s a true archtop, meticulously crafted in Canada to deliver the percussive, woody, and articulate tone that defined a generation of music. This pre-owned beauty is in excellent condition, offering a playing experience that feels both authentically vintage and exceptionally well-made from the moment you pick it up.

The Soul of the Sound—Canadian Wild Cherry

Instead of a typical spruce top, the 5th Avenue’s entire body is crafted from Canadian Wild Cherry. This unique tonewood gives the guitar a truly distinct voice. You get the bright, immediate attack you’d expect from maple, but it’s tempered with a warmer, richer midrange that keeps the tone full and musical. The result is a sound with incredible clarity for complex chord voicings and a punchy projection that cuts through beautifully, all without an amplifier.

Effortless Playability

The Silver Leaf Maple neck and generous 16″ radius Rosewood fingerboard create a playing surface that’s both comfortable and fast. It’s a neck that feels substantial enough for confident chording but is sleek enough for intricate single-note lines. Combined with a 24.84″ scale length, the feel is slinky and responsive, making big bends and long sessions an absolute pleasure.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Unlike a flat-top acoustic, an archtop’s carved top and F-holes produce a more focused, punchy, and mid-range forward tone. It’s less boomy than a dreadnought, which allows it to cut through a band mix with incredible clarity—it’s the classic sound of early jazz and big band rhythm guitar.
It’s a fantastic tonewood that gives you the best of a few worlds. You get a snappy attack similar to maple, but with a warmer, more complex midrange that you might find in mahogany. It keeps the tone from being too bright or harsh, providing a really balanced and articulate acoustic voice.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
