Product information

The voice of this guitar is woody & clear, with the warmth you'd expect from a 12-fret guitar and note-to-note separation by which you'd be surprised.

This is the first 12-fret 00 with Mahogany back & sides we've stocked from Atkin Guitars. How can that be?? Given the amazing sound and responsiveness of this guitar, it's sure to become a regular model in the TME rotation. (And not to get sidetracked, but this may be the nicest color and shading we've seen on an Atkin sunburst!). The voice of this guitar is woody & clear, with the warmth you'd expect from a 12-fret guitar and note-to-note separation by which you'd be surprised. It's a sensational-sounding instrument (that bears repeating); and it'd be an excellent choice for anyone hunting for a versatile, small-bodied guitar with equal parts presence, power, and prettiness. Priced with TKL hard case.
