Avenir Traditional J.P. Cormier Signature "Bear" (PRE-OWNED)

The Avenir Traditional J.P. Cormier Signature "Bear" is a boutique dreadnought designed for players who demand exceptional tone, craftsmanship, and reliability. Hand-built with individually voiced construction, premium tonewoods, and traditional hide glue assembly, this model delivers the power and responsiveness needed for both professional performance and studio recording. A solid Sitka spruce top is paired with solid Santos rosewood back and sides, producing a rich, full-bodied voice with deep bass, clear trebles, and impressive projection. Forward-shifted Adirondack spruce bracing, Japanese hide glue construction, and reverse Honduran mahogany kerfing contribute to a lively, open response with outstanding sustain and dynamic range. An enlarged bluegrass soundhole further enhances volume and projection, making this guitar particularly well suited to flatpicking while remaining articulate for fingerstyle playing. The comfortable D-shaped Khaya mahogany neck features carbon fiber reinforcement rods for added stability, a double-action truss rod, and a smooth 14-inch radiused ebony fingerboard. Premium details such as a polished 45 mm bone nut, 60 mm bone saddle, and Grover open-gear tuners ensure excellent playability and dependable tuning performance. Visually, the J.P. Cormier Signature stands apart with its custom Bear Claw fingerboard inlay, walnut binding and appointments, maple and walnut purfling, tortoise-style pickguard, and high-gloss polyurethane finish. Every instrument includes a fitted hardshell case for maximum protection.
