Mosrite Based Guitar: Avalon (AV-T2?)

Postby 101Volts » Mon Jun 01, 2009 3:57 pm

I saw this guitar demo in my youtube subscriptions yesterday and thought I'd share it with you. I'm not sure exactly what the guitar is called but it looks like someone liked Mosrites and Fenders. Here's the Youtube link:

1966 Ventures II (German Carved, B670.)
1970s "Not a Blues Bender" Bodies: 2.
1976 Brass Rail Deluxe #10.
2013 Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI.

...that someone liked BURNS too, by the look of the guitar's two horns... ;)

Somehow this "Shaggs" model Avalon makes me think it's the "Ford Edsel" ....of guitars :)

Y'know when I first saw this I thought it was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen, but after looking at the pictures on ebay I think it's quite an interesting guitar ... and that album cover is a cack!
