Still made by hand. Still made to matter.
Avalon Guitars began with a simple belief: that the soul of an instrument is shaped by the hands that build it.
In our workshop in Northern Ireland, tradition and intuition guide every cut, carve and tap. There are no production lines here - only luthiers. Every piece of wood is chosen with care. Every guitar voiced individually. Every detail considered not just for beauty, but for balance, resonance, and feel.
Avalon guitars are played on stages and in studios across the world. But they’re born in the quiet, where craftsmanship still matters. Built to last. Built to inspire. Built to become part of your story.

Our approach
Where the guitar becomes more than wood and wire.
At Avalon, we believe the guitar is a living thing - not just built, but brought into being. Every instrument begins with the same intent: clarity, resonance, and a touch of something intangible. We don’t chase trends. We pursue truth - of tone, of feel, of form.
Each guitar is made by hand, with time, care, and absolute focus. We listen to the wood. We trust the process. And we build only what we’d be proud to play ourselves.

“Their originality and attention to detail is unsurpassed, reflecting a passion and dedication to build the very best acoustic guitars.”
Our Luthiers
Built by those who remember every guitar they’ve made.
Our luthiers don’t just make guitars - they know them. By grain. By feel. By memory. Many can spot one of their own being played and recall the day it left the bench.
It’s not a production line. It’s a relationship - between maker, material, and musician. Their experience is felt in every joint, every note, every curve that’s been sanded not just smooth, but right.
World-class
World-class tone. World-class touch.
An Avalon guitar is recognised the world over for its sound: deep, articulate, responsive - the kind of voice that elevates the player. But what sets it apart is the way it’s made. No shortcuts. No compromise. Just luthiers who’ve spent decades refining their craft to the edge of intuition.
It’s why artists like Brady, Springsteen, and Morrison choose Avalon. And why the guitar in your hands, whether Performer or Master, carries the same attention, the same ambition - and the same soul.
