Default More comments - taking the 5th

Hi all, I played a Godin 5th Ave. this past weekend while at Acoustic Music Revival in Denver. That was the first time I'd seen one of these and had a chance to play one. My impression of the guitar I played (one finished in solid black) was that it was the best "new guitar" surprise in recent years at any music shop. For the asking price of about $600, including a heavy-duty case, you can't go wrong. I played a number of songs on it and had one of my band-mates stand about 15 feet away from me. He said that the projection of the guitar was impressive. I liked the overall tone, the simple-is-better finish and the guitar was comfortable to play. The next time I have a GAS attack, I just might pick-up one of these 5th Avenues. A tip of the hat to Godin for coming up with another terrific guitar for a what seems to be an absolute bargain price.
