It offers an H-S-H pickup configuration for a multitude of tonal possibilities with a pair of hot Custom Godin Zebra Humbuckers and a Godin Custom Cajun Nickel in the middle.

The guitar also comes equipped with a re-invented vintage-style control plate, which has a volume, push-pull tone, and an angled 5-way switch that follows the natural sweep of your right hand for easy pickup selection.
This model has Canadian Laurentian Basswood body with an eye-catching Matte Green semi-gloss finish and a Mahogany neck, topped by a Rosewood fretboard. The Radium Matte Green…taking it up a notch

Montreal, Canada (January 9, 2008) - With its vintage spirit and design, the Godin 5th Avenue archtop acoustic is looking to exceed players’ aesthetic and sound expectations when it premieres at Winter NAMM this month. As the newest member of the Godin guitar family, the 5th Avenue combines the soul of a 1950s archtop with today’s level of modern playability.
Godin put a great deal of time and research into crafting their newest creation by giving the 5th Avenue (MSRP $ 625), more projection and volume in the low/mids than traditional archtop acoustic guitars. The body of the 5th Avenue is crafted from Canadian Wild Cherry and also includes classic f-holes and a floating pickguard.
