Avalon Acoustic Guitars

So how does it work? I want to buy myself an Avalon. Pretty sure of the body shape I want. I have potentially got some money to burn. (Will find this out for sure in the next few weeks) Can i order direct from the factory (I could collect the finished masterpiece myself as my parents live in Bangor)? If so how does one go about doing this? Or do I have to order through a dealer? Something I'd rather not do as I'd rather all my hard earned cash all went to Avalon and not partially to Dawsons.

Just curious, which one are you looking to get?

by **Cringer** » 14 Jan 2005, 02:15

Well not that well decided - am open to any suggestions. If I get the money I expect to be getting I'll be looking at investing up to around Â£2000 on the project. Any thoughts? :oops:

The guitar will be mainly used for strumming in a worship environment and volume unplugged is important as it may well be used this way a lot.

Save up your pennies - come over to your parents in Bangor - phone the factory to see if anyones in - go to the factory, play a few, pick one and hand over the dosh!!

I got my Lowden direct from the factory many moons ago.

Last time I was in the factory they only had a D200C in...

Was thinking tentatively about the A200CE...

Cringer, wouldn't 2000Â£ get you into Legacy range? I know where there's a Legacy cutaway with electronis that the guy said was a Lowden replica in excellent condition for $1,800 US I believe...would save you some cash for sure.

I bought my A200CE from him for $900...brand new. He also has an an A201CE for $1,200 US.

We shall see - the reason I've gone for the A200CE tentatively is that I've played one at Dawsons.

Can anyone at Avalon tell me how much a D200C would be if I were to order it fromt he factory in Newtonards and collect it from there myself?

by **Colin Johnston** » 14 Jan 2005, 16:24

Ohh... that's a beauty!

A Silver series verion of that would be v. cool.

by **Cringer** » 14 Jan 2005, 16:55

Oh yeah I suppose that would be a D200CE as I need the pickup in there

Hi Cringer. Did you get sorted with a seasoned D200 CE yet? If so, can you let me know how you got on? Cheers. Dee. deemacnic@btinternet.com
