TME is happy to welcome Atkin Guitars to our fold! What makes us sit up and take note, with so many great instruments already in our showroom? Simply put ~ sound. Atkin's unique scalloped bracing configuration and super-thin aged lacquer finish result in a guitar that's surprisingly open and big-sounding (they've got a lot more oomph in the low end than you'd expect).
This J-43 is the flagship slope-shouldered dreadnought in the Atkin lineup. With huge low end, a crisp high-midrange, and fat, round, trebles, the J-43 should be a serious contender for anyone chasing the tone of a fabled "Banner" era dreadnought. A particularly nice sounding example of the model!
We also admire Atkin's embrace of a naturally aged finish. At the end of the day, what's more important -- being able to see your reflection in a guitar's finish, or being inspired by its sound when you pick it up? Vibe. Tone. Playability. If you want it all, produced with the expertise of a boutique-level workshop, we suggest giving an Atkin serious consideration. Priced with the builder's own hard case, made by TKL.
