Default Mint Avian Songbird Rosewood with Demi Cutaway

Mint Avian Songbird with Demi Cutaway and B-band electronics and hard shell case. $900 plus shipping or best offer.

This guitar was designed by Michael Bashkin and built in a small shop of luthiers in China personally trained by Bashkin and Harry Fleishman. They are incredibly well built and a steal at this price.

Tone is very sweet and balanced with great sustain- an excellent fingerstyler. It is bright when strummed- not this particular guitar's forte but handles it well enough.

Specs:
Scale: 25.5
Top: Solid Alaskan Spruce
Back and sides: Solid E.I. Rosewood
Fretboard and bridge: Rosewood
3 piece neck
Upper bout: 11.25
Lower bout: 15.75
Nut width: 43 mm- or just over 1.69
String spacing at saddle: 2 and 1/8

Thanks! No sense blowing smoke and ending up with an angry buyer.

I can't believe this is still available. These are great finger style guitars.

Here is a review of this guitar from world-class luthier Jason Kostal:

Avian fan club Sunday bump.

I've been A/B comparing my Avian Skylark Fan Fret to my Northwood MJ-75 for a couple of weeks now and I am repeatedly struck by how much Avian was able to accomplish for a fraction of the price. The demi cutaway is a really sweet feature and the intonation and resonance on my Skylark is such that I actually find myself working further up the fingerboard than I ordinarily would.

If this were an Ibis model I'd be on this like stink on a skunk!! I have a Falcon this is a great buy for a deluxe Avian. Good luck with your sale.
