Avalon A32CE (c. 2008)

The history of Avalon Guitars is somewhat complicated, but can be summed up by saying that these guitars were manufactured by the same people and at the same factory as those that had been made under the name Lowden just a few years before. This means that Avalons have essentially the same specs and were built to the same standards as the terrific Lowdens from just prior - the only real difference is the name on the headstock. This A32CE from around 2008 is a great example of everything that players have come to love about these terrific UK-built guitars, with a modern look, huge sound, and wonderful playability. It's built with a solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood on the back and sides, and features a great Fishman Prefix ProBlend pickup, ensuring that this stage-worthy guitar can be heard wherever you take it.

This guitar is almost completely devoid of any sort of pick marking or visible playwear. We consider it to be in excellent condition. Included in the price is a Hiscox Liteflite hard-shell case for the protection a great guitar like this requires.
