Review by a visitor on 5.3.2004




I recently bought this one at a guitarist conference in Tacoma, WA for $600

 
 
  Features  
 
Being designed by the Lowden Guitar Company it has a number of Lowden type features in appearance. Well, almost...this one is a gloss finish..unlike the Lowden and Avalon Legacy ranges. This guitar is one of their Silver Series and brings the quality of a high end guitar into a much more affordable package. The gloss finish is superb and the overall look of the guitar is wonderful.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
This is the part I like. The neck is fast and the set up makes it so so easy to play. I much prefer it to my Tacomine in fact the Avalon Silver blows it out of the water. It sounds great on stage and maybe I should mention that the Fishman Prefis pro comes as standard
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
What can I say...Itnulls a stunner for the price. It is voiced in a much different way than the stuff wenullve had available to us for years.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
This I will have to wait to see. So far so good as there has been no need for adjusting as yet. The guitar comes with an excellent set up.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
I chose this guitar because so many people I know are now playing Avalon. Itnulls not just more of the same. Itnulls different. When I get more money Inullll perhaps upgrade to Avalon Gold series.... but then maybe not! Inullm not sure Avalon can justify the price of their Gold series as their Silver series...which costs $1000 less sounds so close to it
