My Cedar top ,mahogany-sided Avalon with Fishman Prefix -Plus, cost me £ 550 about 5 years ago, not long after they first came out. It has matured into a beautiful -sounding instrument, much admired, although I think the quality may have been better with the first production run. They can now be had for £ 450--500 if you look around.Frank Docherty, regular guitar-player at the famous Herschel Arms ( Slough ) Irish session, liked mine so much that he bought one himself, so I guess that that says something !!! Go try !!
