NEW ARRIVAL Other than some vintage guitars, Avalons rebranded guitars are some of the few modern guitars that have the quality I like to call unputdownableness. This Ard Ri D2-320 is hugely responsive, it will excite you and challenge you at the same time, inspiring you to play beyond what you're normally capable of. The first thing that strikes you when you play this guitar is the amazing depth and bass response, not boomy but very smooth. The overall sound is well balanced, with great resonance and clarity. The Alaskan Spruce top, coupled with Rosewood back and sides deliver clarity and sustain in equal measures. As with all new Avalons it handles alternate tuning particularly well, and is equally happy being fingerpicked or strummed, the neck is very comfortable and the action just right. It comes in a Hiscox hard case.
