HamerHokie Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I have decided to part ways with my Robin Avalon Custom. It is the first of its kind, and it has been customized by BCR Greg. Swamp ash body, sound chamber, Bigsby. It's like a shorter scale, swamp ash Monaco III, sort of. Primo condition, gigged with twice or so. The pickup routs are universal in that the guitar can accept both P-90s and humbuckers with Robin's special mounting rings. Sweet! The nature of the customizations: 1. Original pickup covers were cream colored, switched to black. 2. Original bridge pup was a Rio Bluesbar, now a Rio Genuine Texas. 3. Original pickup selector was five-way knob, now is a standard three-way with a push-push pot which engages the middle pup. This allows more pickup combos than the five way. Includes OHSC. I bought it for $1800, I am asking $1300. Shipped. Email me if interested.
HamerHokie Posted August 22, 2006 Author Posted August 22, 2006 Whoa. That thing looks nice. Thanks! Now buy it.
Chollie Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I remember when it was stock at the shop and it was awesome then, I can't imagine the insanity now.
polara Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I really really reallyreallydig the looks of that. I'm trying to imagine a sorta chambered-P90-Tele sound? Dang, I'll bet it rawks.

BCR Greg Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 That guitar has something special about it, but Hokimon ain't MAN ENOUGH to figger it out!I kid because I love.Cool guitar, lots of tones, and when Hokiepoo sez it's clean, IT'S CLEAN.
Submariner85 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Whoa. That thing looks nice. Thanks! Now buy it. Not really my style but very nice looking guitar.
