Product information

Relative to a 14-fret L36, this 12-fret variant has a sweeter sound, with rounder trebles.


Our latest custom creation from Atkin Guitars is this 12-fret L36, wearing the black-and-white "Tuxedo" motif of an early-1930's L-bodied flattop.

This classic, austere look is a perfect platform for Atkin's "Heavy Aged" finish; and we think the guitar looks just amazing in person.

It sounds lovely as well, exhibiting a warm & surprisingly mature voice. Relative to a 14-fret L36, this 12-fret variant has a sweeter sound, with rounder trebles -- it'd be a great choice for a fingerstyle player looking for maximum smoothness of sound without sacrificing articulation. Priced with TKL hardshell case from Atkin.
