Godin 5th Avenue Thin Line: The Perfect Blend of Sound and Design
4,7 / 5,0 | 
The Godin 5th Avenue Thin Line combines the best features of two renowned series: the Montreal Series and the 5th Ave Series. Its characteristic medium sized, fully hollow body offers not only great aesthetics but also an expressive sound. Sounds convincing, so let’s take a closer look at the two new models.
Unique Tone and Sustain
With its special Canadian wild cherry body, the Godin 5th Avenue Thin Line offers exceptional control over the sustain of each note. This guitar really comes into its own when paired with a low- to medium-gain tube amp. In this setup it reveals its harmonic character, with notes gently blending together to create a warm, balanced sound.
Sensitive Response to Playing Nuances
An outstanding feature of the Godin 5th Avenue Thin Line is its ability to respond sensitively to playing nuances. This allows musicians to explore a rich and varied palette of sounds and perfect their individual style. Whether it’s gentle melodies or powerful chords, this guitar adapts to any playing style. Also worth noting is the guitar’s tendency to produce controlled and pleasant feedback. At higher volumes, it allows you to be creative and expressive.
Versatility for Different Musical Styles
The Godin 5th Avenue Thin Line is equipped with excellent pickups to underline the advertised versatility. It is equipped with classic and warm sounding Godin Kingpin P90 pickups or characterful Lollar Gold Foil P90s, which provide excellent high-end response and accurately reproduce the tonal characteristics of the guitars.
Conclusion: An Asset to Any Collection
The Godin 5th Avenue Thin Line is not only an excellent instrument, but also a real enrichment for any guitarist’s collection. Available in Trans Cream for $1,379.00 / £1,299.00 / 1,559.00€ and in Vintage Burst with Lollar Gold Foil P90 pickups for $1,990.00 / £1,875.00 / 2,249.00€, both guitars will soon be available here at Thomann*.
