    Allegedly has indecent images of children with intent to distribute? That's the worst thing here,if true.

    The pre-lawsuit models will only go up in value.

    Anyone with a partly built order must be worried...

    Not particularly - first because my deposit is on a credit card and second because I've had pics of the nearly completed guitar.

    I was more concerned when I got no response to my e mails when COVID closed the workshop.

    @TheMadMick ; You've spent what seems like a long time waiting (some worries thrown in) that I hope when you get it you're happy

    Whatever way this turns out, I'm sure Steve will have to retire.

    If only everybody was treated this way,as is supposed to be. My nazi tattoo and mohawk haircut did infer some bias in my favour though!

    Thank goodness for that. I've been trying to raise him for the last w2 weeks by e mail and no luck. He has a guitar of mine for fettling and another which should be built by now.

    @TheMadMick - hopefully all will be fine.

    Got to get my Dove sorted. I've decided to have the electronics removed. The thinking is that, with the under saddle pickup out, I can get even better tone and more sustain.

    In case anyone is interested, my new guitar build should be available via this link: https://we.tl/b-iwENdsMy9y

    Spec - Cedar top, walnut B&S, L R Bags Anthem SL pick up. The rest is standard Pioneer - see the Avalon web pages.

    Enjoy.

    Looks sweet and should be a belter, just wish they would do a more ornate headstock!

    Did you spec the one piece neck. My pioneer has a 5 piece which I thought was standard

    The spec is a 2 piece neck although the website shows a 5 piece neck. Provided it is stable, I couldn't care less. However, my Ard Ri has a 5 piece neck. I can't see the advantage if properly done and at the price I'm paying, it should be properly done.

    It finally arrived today and, given it's still tight, it sounds wonderful I'm over the moon. All it needs to do now is get run in. Can't wait.

    Thanks for your interest and watch this space.

    @TheMadMick that link doesn't work on my mobile - any chance of an embedded pic? I'd love to see it but getting the laptop going takes forever :#
    Glad it finally arrived for you anyway. Enjoy!  :)

    Sorry bro, can't embed for some reason. Maybe a new laptop? Macbooks are excellent but not cheap.

    Otherwise thanks for your good wishes.

    The hosting site is a bit weird, @Soupman Using Vivaldi, I get an insane error message  - "Honey, you shrunk the browser
    To view your items, you need to expand your browser window. - And this using full screen on a big, photographic-standard monitor! But it opened OK in Firefox. Some idiot tried to do some fancy tricks with Javascript and screwed the pooch. 

    @TheMadMick - did I say already what a lovely instrument it looks?
