I think you are correct, also if you notice up in the area of the toggle switch the pattern is the same too. Then there are some Y shaped breaks in the quilt that are identical.

When I took the pic I didn't get the same angle so it looks slightly different plus my camera sucks so the blue finish didn't pop as much.

I bought the guitar off of ebay several years ago from a guy that if memory serves, was more of an acoustic guy but wanted an electric, the PM store name is starting to ring a bell. Either way I grabbed it. That Avalon is amazing and I am not letting it go!

In fact my entire rack is all Robins.

It's not often I get to post ANYTHING about my Robin, so for my second post on the forum, my Ranger.



Which I bought to replace this one: (stolen)


My son, about 9 yrs old, just played Devils Dream. He's getting married in September, but I digress..........

I'm on the lookout for a fakimba fleetwood or machete. I'm in love with "ugly headstocks". I have the fleetwood, a tyler, and a parker (and a tele).

There ain't nuthin' ugly about those headstocks! I think they are the very fitting for the guitars they are on, especially the Fleetwood and Machete. I will say they look a bit out of place on the Medley but not ugly.

There is an Avalon Classic on Bostons Craig's list right now for about 2K Don't know if it's OK to post a link so I won't. This is not my guitar.
