Avalon s32 Legacy Series - Rosewood + Pickup

For sale is my Avalon Legacy S32 acoustic guitar, handmade in Newtownards, Co. Down, Northern Ireland. This is one of the highly regarded original Legacy Series guitars, built by the same team responsible for many of the Lowdens of the early 2000s after the factory shut down. It has a fantastic reputation for its rich, balanced tone and exceptional craftsmanship.

This particular model features a factor installed fishmann pickup and beautifully figured East Indian rosewood back and sides.

The guitar has a beautiful, mature tone that has continued to open up over the years. It works equally well for fingerstyle and strumming, with excellent sustain, clarity and balance.

Condition is excellent overall with only minor cosmetic signs of use, as shown in the photos. A clear pick guard was installed by Avalon themselves after a heavy handed strummer, however the guitar has only seen light fingerpicking since. Everything functions exactly as it should, including the Fishman pickup.

These original Legacy Series Avalons are becoming increasingly sought after and are an excellent alternative to a Lowden at a much more accessible price.
