# ARP Avatar
“There is one big difference between this ARP Avatar and others that have been offered on EB, which is: it works! In fact we just spent $492.68 with Advanced Musical Electronics, LA’s premier synth repair service, to insure it is fully functional. If you don’t believe us, here’s a copy of the receipt! IMO this synth is best used as an adjunct to a 2600 or other ARP of the same vintage. However we also include a NOS guitar pick-up – never been used. The Avatar is legendary as the synth ARP spent a ton of money working on but then never really sold or marketed it properly. Opinions vary on the effectiveness of using it as a guitar synth and your mileage may vary. This particular synth is in G+ condition – probably as good as you’ll find. There is a light scratch across the upper right-hand corner. The ARP logo in the lower right-hand corner is slightly chipped. There is some light paint chipping around the edges of the case and the wood side-panels are slightly scratched. A previous owner’s name and address are stenciled on the bottom (we do not show this picture but it is a typical white block stencil lettering about 1″ high). We have tried to describe this synth as accurately as possible. As with all vintage synths we are selling it on an as-is, no return basis.” Link
