Curious if anyone has a nice one for sale or trade?  Just started to get an itch And would like to try one….   Avalon custom, artisan custom, something cool.  I have seen some great ones posted here over the years - 

That recent thread and a pretty avalon custom on reverb got the juices flowing.

 
Thanks, Biz Prof.

Must be good, none for sale here - 

in all seriousness, a little funky issue w that Avalon custom on reverb.  A couple other avalons are possibilities.  But I know there are some cool Robins around here.  Perhaps nobody’s sellin’…. But if you are thinking about it, LMK if you are, and what you have.  I do love those avalon customs with wrap tails - but am open to something cool.

Thanks

 
I  have a couple Robin Medleys I am selling. Email me at hamstd@gmail.com

thanks

look at the side of the neck where the body meets it.  Some funky finish stuff going there.  Might be nothing, but owner did not explain it clearly to me other than it seems some sort of "minor" repair.

Id rather have  a wrap, anyway, but if you think I am seeing ghosts, lmk.  To me it looks like some lacquer is going up on the neck binding in an odd way.

 
FWIW I am hopefully getting more photos of that area, and the red one looks nice at a much lower price, as does that gold flat top (though I think I'd like the larger neck).  Would still love a "family" purchase here, though - Some USA Robin, most interested in Avalon, but could be convinced otherwise.

 
I might sell the second Kizanski model that Greg shaped the neck.  But it won't be cheap.  And the neck is full!

@The Shark never sells anything, so you should jump on it.

As stated above, that Avalon is the 2nd one Dave Wintz made for me and it's a beast.
Crazy flame top, wrapper bridge (of course), double crown inlays, headstock binding, jumbo frets OVER the binding (again, "of course"), and the aforementioned large '58 Gibson-shaped neck with the soft V.

Also, I asked Dave to sign the back of the headstock. I don't know why. I just had always felt that he was one of the more quiet guitar builders I have seen.
He would always let others do the talking while he stood at the CNC machine. Even during factory open house days he would have others do the presentations.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I wanted him to sign the headstock as a tip of the hat to him.
So, he signed the back and added "KIZANSKI" under the serial number. I didn't ask for that. He just did it.

I think he added my name as a tip of the hat to me.
He was a great guy.
