Avalon L8­-328

  • This Ard Rí custom guitar is the exact same instrument as our previous example here —minus the fretboard inlay—so I've just copied the description for this latest iteration.

    Avalon guitars are, of course, exquisite instruments. When I see a cool set of tonewood, one of the first questions I ask is "How can I get Avalon to build a guitar with this?". Our previous experiments have been stunning, and the guitar you see listed here is no exception.

    Steve McIlwraith showed me a bunch of sets of Indonesian Rosewood they're sitting on, and I knew I had to have a guitar (or several) built with this wood. So, I commissioned this cool custom you see here. And the tone? To die for. Lush, reverberant, with sustain that lasts an eternity. It boasts great clarity and volume, an Ebony-esque blend of the best aspects of Cocobolo (my favorite tonewood) and Koa or Blackwood. You're going to love this.
