NEW ARRIVAL This new Avalon Ard Ri L2-310FC is one of the most impressive new guitars I've played in quite a while. The Bear Claw Spruce top adds complexity to the tone, coupled with Amazique back and sides which provide the drive and resonance. It works very well with fingerstyle play, well balanced and articulate, but also for strumming where the body size allows the air to move creating a big, dominant sound that never gets away from you, and when soloing the smoothness and clarity of single notes is very impressive. The guitar feels quite substantial and road ready, yet it’s the subtlety that’s surprising. It comes in a Hiscox hard case.
