Default SOLD- Godin Fifth Avenue archtop acoustic, $325

What would make me sell this fine instrument? Nothing on Earth, except another guitar on the way! Since reaching a half-dozen, I'm trying to maintain a "one in/at least one out" policy.

Ya'll might know the Fifth Avenue as a classy jazz and blues box. It has a woody, fundamental tone with the reduced sustain that faster players than I can take advantage of. It's also tremendously comfortable, with a body depth that's right between thin and thick. This one has no functional flaws, and only one cosmetic issue- a 1/4 inch nick in the finish on the top edge of the upper bout. I've restained this so it's invisible from a foot away. There are no other dings or dents. The action is low and the frets and fingerboard show no wear.

No pickup, but you can install your favorite and make this a distinctive songwriter's companion or a rockabilly machine!

This is my first sale here, but check my past posts to see that I'm a devoted Godin fan (Reverb handle: Birdbrain). I've gotten a lot out of this site, and I'll be around. I guarantee your satisfaction! I haven't shipped a guitar like this before, so I hesitate to quote a postage price, but Reverb leads me to believe it will be no more than $30, USA. I will ship worldwide, including this guitar's native land of Canada.

Photos available upon request, or check my Reverb listing https://reverb.com/item/13052165-god...firmation=true

Default Look again

It certainly does have tuning knobs, six of them, in fact. One for each string. Only one photo shows the headstock, where they are located.

OP, you might want to mention that this is the "Kingpin" model.

I suspect Bahpa is refering to the fact that there a two different guitars shown in the detail pictures...Look for yourself.

Default Thanks, I'll correct that

This is not the Kingpin, just the straight Fifth. I'll take down that second photo on Reverb. Sorry- but I'm still wondering why any thought the tuning knobs were missing.

Default Don't believe so...

You're right, I'll drop my price here to $375, slightly higher on Reverb.

Default Now only $325!

Another big discount made. I think I'll leave it at this price for a few weeks, at least.

Default Final price drop- $325

Don't miss my new, friendlier price! It's a $50 drop, so I'll keep this price level for a few more weeks.
