This guitar sounds wonderful

Cedar top, rosewood back and sides
 K&K Trinity Mini Solo 

28 inch scale, I tuned it D-D with normal strings (11s for me)
the pickup is way better than my usual Element piezos
with the active preamp set right, almost no EQ required,and I usually use an IR pattern to lose the piezo quack, no need here. More prone to feedback though.

The cedar top sounds so warm with the dropped-tuning

    Are they the ex Lowden guys? I tried a Lowden Bari once, it was awesome, I bet that one is too.

    yes, they were the factory that made all the Lowdens from 1988 to 2003
    It's a lovely guitar - my 4th Avalon!

    I have a A200CE Gold, had it since late 2004. It's lovely.
