NEW ARRIVAL This ex demo Avalon D2 10 is really surprising, and is a fine example of a clearly Gibson inspired slope shouldered dreadnought. It’s one of the most evenly balanced dreadnoughts I’ve played, with a full bass, smooth mid range, and sparkle in the top end. The Sitka Spruce top adds complexity to the tone, while the Mahogany back and sides provide the warmth and resonance. It’s a great all rounder, equally happy being strummed, flat picked or played finger style. Visually it’s a treat, classic lines with classy but understated finishing touches. It comes in a Hiscox hard case.
