CITES can be such a troublesome thing! My Avalon was stuck 4 days in fedex Ireland, just waiting for the cites paperwork to go through!
finally after 4 days stuck in cites, it travelled over the weekend, and finally landed this afternoon in the destination distribution center. I hope I can get it delivered to me tomorrow! |

Liquidation of Avalon !!?!
Hi
How's it going with the guitar ? I just back my custom guitar recently, and Steve from Avalon has not been responding to my email for about a month now I asked again for news today ... And I just got this message (I changed the name) It doesn't sound good at all : to me Dear XXX, I regret to inform you that Avalon Custom Lutherie Ltd. has gone into liquidation and is no longer operating. However, negotiations are underway with the former owners to begin a new company. We will keep you informed of any developments. In the meantime, if you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the administrator at this email address: [email protected] Regards, J Xxxxxxx Administrative Director

I've been in contact with Avalon for the past year and a half regarding a custom build. During those past 8 months there has been so much turmoil in the company. This has made the whole process with them quite complicated (I got to know that close to the end of completion). My guitar ended up the way I wanted to, but they made many mistakes along the way and I had to ship it back to them to fix which took about 6 months. I've been told by Steve that Jim left the company not so long ago. But now it comes to this, so I don't really know what's going on.
