Avalon D10 SD 12-Fret Custom (new)

The Northern Irish premium manufacturer Avalon is sitting on a rare treasure: 135-year-old Brazilian mahogany that rested for generations near Seville, where it was able to age in peace for over a century. The procurement was made possible by the new owner of Avalon Guitars, John McCartin – an excellent musician himself.

Combined with our desire for a 12-fret dreadnought with an elegant open headstock and a new logo, this creates a dream for 12-fret enthusiasts who love the sound of Irish guitars but also want a touch of classic dreadnought dignity. Appealing, full, warm, focused, and with enough midrange to hold its own in a band. Versatile with a lot of character. Visually, the D10 presents itself as a simple, elegant slope-shoulder with elaborate flamed maple binding and an abalone rosette.

Materials and Construction

• Sitka Spruce & Old Brazilian Mahogany: The solid spruce top provides high dynamics and clear articulation. The back and sides made of old Brazilian mahogany deliver classic warmth, mids, and depth.
• Neck: One-piece Brazilian mahogany, combined with the ebony fingerboard for wonderful stability and playability.
• Feel: With a scale length of 650 mm and a nut width of 44.5 mm, the guitar offers plenty of room for precise fingerstyle and strumming.
