The Shark Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Major purchase on the horizon. I'm going to sell some real gems. The first is my 2006 Robin Avalon flattop flametop. Ernie Santella can tell you it's killer. I think it's the only one Dave Wintz ever made. Guitar's neck is a little wider. Not thick. Not thin. Very comfortable. Under eight pounds. Coil taps yield very usable sounds. One knob has a visible crack, but is structurally sound. Case logo is peeling away. Guitar is sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.bandini Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Lovely guitar, for sure, and cool build photos. What's with the expanding foam on the buffing machine? Noise suppression?Back to the thread, and good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shark Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'm guessing the foam is to protect the guitar, if it "kicks" out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
