The Shark Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 4 hours ago, kizanski said: 1998 Avalon on Reverb Seller lists it as a 2010,but it's a '98. His opening sentence is not only inaccurate, it's seizure-inducing: "As new, a 2010 last run made by Robin Avalon Electric Guitars, Made in the USA!!!!!" He closes with "Robin Guitars ceased productions in Texas in 2010. So this beauty has sat in its case ( air conditioned ) for over 10 years." I don't know where he got 2010 from, or where one can find an air conditioned guitar case, but the serial number is clearly from 1998, if he had bothered to look. Also, the standard humbucker mounting rings are a dead giveaway. He fixed the auction. Kizanski's sphere of influence is wide and deep. Tread lightly... 1 Quote

cynic Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Robin Avalon 2010 - Salmon Pink As new, a 1998 last run I thought it was a 2000 which is when the shop closed, my bad I bet he's fun to talk to. He's also got an '80 Hamer special for sale that was apparently owned by a crazy Finn at some point. Head stock has been "repaired on". Looks like the work was done in Paw Paw. 1 2 Quote

Next play. and yes, Shark, yours is, indeed, better! Mine has never even had the strap button drilled. Dave Wintz told me I could decide after Greg got it. I forgot to mention it and it's still not decided! Frankly, I'd sell mine for 5K. There ain't going to be no more. Quote

kizanski Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 This is on Reverb now for $3400 and free shipping. That's about half what they go for (and the OHSC is even more rare than the guitar). The price is so off that it might be a scam or a hijacked account. 2 Quote

I had a sunburst one back in the early nineties. I think I paid $900 and sold it for about a grand to Jimmy Wallace. It was so funky, it was cool. A little on the weighty side. Quote
stedge Posted May 22, 2024 Author Posted May 22, 2024 Well, when it rains guitars it seems to pour. If good things come in threes, one to go. snagged a Robin. Wont get it in my hands for a while but should be fun. 1 Quote
