Go X - Avalon Rivers and his Cherry Tele

(click image to embiggen)

"Think Lost prophets meets Fall of Troy."

Avalon is the lead guitarist of Welsh band Go-X and is pictured above holding the guitar I made for him earlier this year.  The body and neck are made from Cherry; the fingerboard is made from Walnut; all the hardwear is Gotoh and it packs some mean Bare Knuckle Blackguard 50's pickups which has a four way selector for an extra series/parallel tone option.  Avi plays his Tele through a Cornford Hellcat 35w and uses theses pedals:

Zvex ooh wah II, Zvex Fuzz Factory, Boss Tuner, Boss CE-5, Boss DD3,Rothwell Atomic Booster and he's also getting an Ibanez WH10v2 wah pedal when they're released in November!

Avi quite often turns up at the workshop with bass player Murphy in tow. Nine times out of ten they both look like tramps who are about to cry, due to hangover agony, after they 'somehow managed' to get locked in a pub the night before.  Funny boys.

See them next, launching their new EP at Dec 18th Solus, Cardiff with Ian Watkins of the Lost Prophets.  Ill be going, rocking out with the youth and dancing like my dad.  Yeh!
