2020 Atkin The Forty Three – £2499

NEW ARRIVAL Here we have another example of Atkin producing a guitar with vintage look and feel and aged tone. The Forty Three is unashamedly based on a 1943 Gibson J45, from their Golden Age of acoustics. With a Torrefied Sitka Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides, the guitar has a super thin aged toner nitro finish allowing the whole body to really resonate. The Spruce / Mahogany combination, give a rich tone, with great clarity, and the body size gives real depth and a full sound. The slope shoulder dreadnought body really packs a punch in the bass, making it a strummers’ dream. A really versatile guitar, with great playability, and a very comfortable body size. The guitar is in good, aged condition, with visible playwear already noticeable as the finish is designed to show. It comes in it’s original deluxe hard case.
