Just seen an item on the BBC website about this.
Anyone got any more information?
Anyone got or used one of their guitars?

It wasn't me!
(Well, actually, it probably was)

That's a shame.

I'm a Lowden owner myself - Avalon took George Lowden's no-expense-spared designs and pruned them for a more affordable instrument. IMO they weren't quite as good as a Lowden, but then they were half the price, and they still do have that sweetness to them which makes Lowdens the best fingerstyle steel-string around (IMO again). I haven't kept track of Avalon since I got my Lowden back in 2002 though, and checking the web, it looks like they've wavered a bit on their business plan over the years.
