Avalon S345 – Handcrafted Acoustic Guitar (Serial No. 3027)
The Avalon S345 is a stunning example of Irish luthiery at its finest — a handcrafted acoustic guitar that combines exquisite tonewoods with master-built precision. With its Spruce and beautifully figured Monkey Pod (Albizia Saman) back and sides, the S345 delivers a bright, dynamic voice and a distinct visual character that sets it apart from any other instrument in its class.
Premium Tonewoods for a Distinctive Voice
-
Top: Spruce
Responsive and harmonically rich, spruce produces a bright, balanced tone ideal for Country, Blues and Folk and studio recording. -
Back & Sides: Monkey Pod (Albizia Saman)
A rare and visually striking tonewood offering a unique tonal palette — articulate mids, controlled lows, and a crisp high-end shimmer. Monkey Pod provides excellent projection with a touch of warmth, making the S345 both expressive and versatile.
Together, these woods create an instrument that’s both tonally rich and visually captivating.
