Sound Pure's Take
Wow! This is the first Avalon we've had the pleasure of having on our shelves but we certainly hope this won't be the last. A complex, cavernous voice makes this Alpine/Ebony titan extraordinarily well-suited to trad Irish styles of playing both in the solo and group contexts as well as just a fantastic muse for anyone interested in diving deep into the world of alternate tunings. Stunning!
Condition: Used, Excellent
Conditon: Used, Excellent (a few minor finish cracks, pictured)
