I decided that I wanted to add a vintage archtop to my collection of guitars, but hesitated due to the cost. After reading and reading again online reviews and youtube videos, I decided to try the Godin 5th Avenue. I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed. The finish (cognac burst) was beautiful. The setup from the factory was very good (just a minor action adjustment to my liking). Is this a 1940's Gibson archtop? Of course not, but it also doesn't cost $3000+. It is a very nice, playable, fun guitar with a vintage archtop vibe at a price most can afford, For me it's a keeper!
