Review by a visitor on 7.3.2005




I had owned a Carmencita accoustic for 35 years and hardly ever touched it over the last 25 years.I sold it on ebay and immediately had remorse.
I bought a Strat copy and got the BUG again.But something was not quite right.
I went to Dr Rock at Enfield South Australia and tried a few different guitars.
The Avion just FELT great.
I bought it for $299 and have not regretted one minute.
I find time most nights to have a play.
It really feels just right for me.

 
 
  Features  
 
I bought the wine red model and think it looks sensational.
I am impressed with the feel of the fret board.
I had to do very little to set it up and while I chose the model with one tone and volume control, I could possibly now benefit from 2 of each, but the amp helps make up for that.
The tuners are first rate and the action is very good.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
I have been able to get the sounds I want to play a bit of Clapton or Live or whatever. It is easier to play and has a better sound than the Strat copy I owned
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
The finish of the guitar is terrific.
The sound it generates through my practice amp is great.
I am tempted to buy a decent amp, but I dont think the neighbours could handle it. There does not appear to be any hum, buzz or whatever.
Very clan sound.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
I dont give it a big bash, but I only have to tweek the tuning once every couple of weeks. As I said, I play it most nights but not too hard. A buddy of mine bought the same guitar recently and he is impressed with the overall reliabilty,
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
I chose this guitar because it felt good and was smooth to use.
It is exactly what I wanted and does not disapoint in any way.
Would I buy another. No need, but if I was in the market for another guitar I would certainly consider a similar model again.
