What's Hot
Up for sale or trade is a lovely Avalon Pioneer A2-20 from 2013.
This came to me in a trade. I've been wanting to try an Avalon again for a while now and it seemed like a good opportunity to do so. I was thinking of letting one of my Lowden go, but sentimental reasons have made me decide to keep the Lowden and move this on. Very similar in sound/tones. I'd say slightly more American tone, maybe from the strings coming through the bridge and held with pins?
There's loads of details on the original sales thread from
@danishbacon here and details of the work performed recently by Avalon here. This really is a bargain for someone!
It's really starting to mature well, the treble is lovely and warm. A good richness from the rosewood too. Few marks here and there. It's a used guitar and has obviously been played and loved, which is what you want to see in my eyes. It also has the highly regarded L.R. Baggs Anthem dual source pickup system installed.
