Brand New Waranteed Avalon Pioneer L1-20 Cedar Top Acoustic Guitar Handcrafted in Northern Ireland

Brand new Avalon Pioneer L1-20 jumbo acoustic guitar hand crafted by Avalon Custom Lutherie in Northern Ireland. All solid woods; Red Cedar top with East Indian rosewood back and sides. Bindings are solid Pearwood, as is the center strip of the neck, the rest of which is mahogany. Bridge and fingerboard are ebony, as are the buttons on the premium grade Gotoh tuners. Comes with a high quality Hiscox case, made in England.

The combination of Indian Rosewood back and sides and Red Cedar soundboard give this guitar a rich warm tone with clean trebles. This pairing of woods makes for a guitar that is suitable for all types of playing, but a perfect choice for fingerstyle.

The remarkable build quality of Avalon guitars is apparent from the moment you open the case! This is a stunning looking guitar with a unique sound. It is the modern version of my 20 year old Lowden O25. Turns out that the same luthiers who worked on that 20 year old guitar also worked on this one!

Avalon started out as Lowden Guitars, and became Avalon when George Lowden went his own way more than 10 years ago. Avalons are built in the same shop by several of the same luthiers that were building Lowden branded guitars back then. Avalons are equal if not better in build quality to Lowdens, and have the same clear as a bell - like sound and ease of play, with a somewhat different tone. The differences, to the extent you can detect them, may be due to the different bridge styles (Avalons use bridge pins vs Lowdens through - the - bridge (Taylor style) approach. Avalon also uses two different proprietary bracing patterns.
