Time for action

[Loki]

OK. Confession time. Not all the guitars in the house are Avalons.

In defence I wish to enter that Avalon do not make an all mahogany body!

That's probably why I'm having to post here to find a responsible, very competent and professional I could entrust with sorting out an overly high action on a Martin D15 and identifying any other improving tweaks that might be needed.

I'm lucky enough to live only a few miles from the Avalon workshops in Newtownards ( cough,cough.cough )

Ideas, even by pm, greatly appreciated...

Hi Loki

We may not make an all Mahogany guitar as a standard model but remember we're more of a custom shop than a "factory".

We've made all Mahogany guitars for customers in the past as well as all Walnut, all Koa etc etc

There are quite a few people call in and see us to discuss having a custom guitar build ... you'd be most welcome to visit or phone.

As for repairing / adjusting your Martin .. we also do this work to any make of guitar

Perhaps I should just pack up and move to N. Ireland so I can "test" out all those guitars. There should be someone there to make sure they sound okay...

That would be the job of my dreams.

Just thought that I should close the file on this as it were.

In the last episode the non too subtle hint on sorting out a Martin D15 was picked up on by the kindly Avalon people.

In the final instalment we find that the guitar was left in the work carried out in a great time frame, with great attention to cosmetic improvement as well as well sound stuff like a bone saddle etc. all at an extremely fair price.

The guitar now looks better, plays better and sounds better than it ever has done.

Thank you, good people- even if you couldn't turn it in to an Avalon

Hey no problem Loki and thanks for the comments, you're welcome anytime

Now, if only they'd install one of those Star Trek-style transporters, so I could beam my guitars across the Pond for proper care...

I've often thought about this. The question remains in my mind, "Would my beautiful wife still be a half hour late to everywhere she goes?"
