Which Guitar?

In the photo in this page:

There is a black guitar hanging on the wall right between Balazs and Robin.
What range is it?

'tis the Roby Duke signature model, and very lovely it is too.

Tragic and poignant though that Mr Duke died before being able to meet and play the Avalon realisation of his dream guitar.

It's obvious he was highly regarded and is still missed by the wider Avalon circle and beyond.

Absolutely; Roby's loss is still a raw and painful memory and although he was able to play the first prototype (in a sunburst finish), he only got to see pics of the finished black version before he passed away last year. He was hoping we would offer both versions, which we plan to do.

I should have added that extensive galleries of both models are linked from the Roby tribute page here: http://www.avalonguitars.com/robyduke.htm

One of the guitars pictured on the home page banner appears to be the same shape. It looks like rosewood and spruce, is it part of the same range?
