Godin 5th Avenue in Cognac Sunburst

Description

I bought this "as new" for a recording project. It still had the Andertons label and clearly hadn't been played. I have played it a handful of times for the recording and its never been gigged. Its in almost perfect condition with only 2 tiny marks which are hardly noticeable - see photos. I am not going to be able to play the guitar enough to justify keeping it as i mainly play acoustics. I would rather it go to a new home and get played. It has a great tone both unplugged and plugged. Its quite a distict tone so maybe check out some youtube videos if you are new to archtops. These guitars retail at between £810 and £899 in online music stores. Here is the manufacturers blurb:

The Godin 5th Avenue brings you back to a time when the archtop acoustic guitar reigned supreme. With the soul of a 1950s archtop, the 5th Avenue is a true vintage spirit of yesterday with today’s level of modern playability. With more projection & volume in the low/mids than traditional acoustic archtop guitars, the dynamically rich tone of the 5th Avenue makes this sophisticated instrument a dream to play but not a nightmare on your wallet. The Godin 5th Avenue now makes the dream of owning an affordable North American archtop a reality! From Alt-Country, Delta Blues, Slide, Jazz to Rock, the 5th Avenue can really deliver both acoustically and electrically. The Godin Kingpin P90 single-coil pickup delivers all that classic vintage tone with presence, clarity, and a little attitude thrown in for good measure!

Made from Canadian Wild Cherry, the body of the 5th Avenue features a molded arched top and back; as well as an adjustable 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 19th century.
