Canada already described by other opinions

UTILIZATION

The neck is great (it is a feature of Godin)
The ergonomics are excellent, the guitar is small and light
Access to acute is obviously way without cutaway, but for the music to which it is intended very well.
Sii you need to make bends in the 20th box is that you need a strat archtop not ...

SOUNDS

I use it with either Amplitube or acoustic or with a Laney Cub 10.
In all cases it is very well, but we must be careful it is sensitive to feedback.

OVERALL OPINION

I will not rewrite everything that everyone has already written very well, just add another point of view.

Judged solely by the term "archtop" 5th Avenue a little niche in the niche "reserved for jazz players," while it may appeal to a wider audience really.
I'm an old eternal beginner, I do not play jazz, I love my 5th Avenue, one can do blues, picking .. all we want is (mostly secondhand) a small instrument extremely endearing.

Of course that is a folk folk and archtop archtop one, each produces a different sound, no dispute on this point, it prevents the 5Th Avenue is constructed as a folk who have a union less thick and of course a different table.
The rest is the same (I also have an Art & Lutherie Folk Cedar, the similarity is amazing, the handle is the same, finishing the same box etc ...).
From a perspective construction, the 5th Avenue is built on the basis of a folk Godin and feel (not sound) are 98% identical. Pass from one to the other is done seamlessly (instrument side once again, not the side)

Someone who plays on an acoustic and love handles Godin Kingpin could see as an alternative to an original and enjoyable electrified acoustic with a magnetic pickup (which gives a sound anyway far enough from the noise in general)
Similarly, the low projection (compared to folk) of the 5th Avenue makes it a great tool for the home.
Anyway, I love this guitar, and I find amazing that Canadians are able to produce this kind of thing with people normally paid in arriving at a final rate not delusional.
I know it gives concert, but at home it is a super versatile option, rather than what the term "archtop" may hint
