So, I get the new Musicians Friend catalog - and as usual save it for later when I’m barbecuing on my deck with a cold brew. I mean what is better than new gear freshness and the smell of cooking meat over an open flame?
In this edition there wasn’t anything amazingly new - but something caught my eye that I had not seen before. The 5th Avenue Series by Godin. Apparently, the series just won Guitar Player Reader’s Choice award. Even better…it only has a street price of $699! That’s fantastic.
Personally I like the black one with a P90….
Here’s the link to the guitar on Godin’s site:

I didn’t think I really needed or wanted any more guitars…but this one is calling my name….

I bought the acoustic version (with Champagne Burst finish) as soon as they came out; very nice guitar, well made, playable with a distinctive sound. I love that it’s 100% made in Canada.
I’ve added a Johnny Smith style floating neck pickup, still experimenting with strings, but I love this instrument; just looking at it makes me want to sit and play for hours…
