Atkin D37 – Baked Sitka Top and Indian Rosewood Back and Sides!
Just in from the UK, we're proud to introduce you to some killer acoustics by Atkin Guitars.
The challenge of finding a lightweight acoustic that's resonant with a proper vintage aesthetic and great playability is all too familiar to many of us tone hunters. With Atkin's 37 Models, there's no need to look further.
We love their thin aged nitro finish and the way that the relic is subtle but pops when the light hits it just right. The high grade wood Atkin sources will age beautifully, and their high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail over the instrument helps nail the broken in tone we love - just check out the baked AAA Adirondack tops on their Pre-War models!
Atkin is dedicated to making some of the best new acoustics we've tried recently. Drop us a line if you'd like to know more or get your hands on one of these killer guitars!
"The most popular steel-string guitar of all time, the dreadnought is a design classic. The Atkin Dreadnought is based on the classic pre-war models of the 1930s. We’ve been building and repairing this style of guitar longer than any other and, as with the J-45, every vintage example we’ve worked on has taught us something different.
With its deep body and scalloped braces, the Atkin Dreadnought puts out an incredibly strong, full sound. It’s one of the biggest sounding guitars we (or anyone else) makes and it really stands out when you’re playing alongside other instruments, live or in the studio."
