Atkin Guitars
This design is among the smallest of acoustic guitar body shapes. 1936 was a great year for the Parlor design and Atkin's ‘Thirty Six’ takes inspiration from those very guitars right at the time they became a pivotal part of American Folk and Blues music.
Carefully selected Baked Sitka Spruce combined with their hand-scalloped bracing delivers a tight, bouncy tone that’s perfect for folky fingerpicking and blues-style flatpicking alike.

Atkin's ‘Forty Seven’ is a lightly built X-braced guitar that sounds incredible for fingerstyle playing, and also has enough size and punch to make it great for flatpicking as well.
Their scalloped bracing system brings out the best in this smaller body, giving a bass tone that is strong and more commanding than you would expect from an instrument of this size.
Many pre-war examples had “baseball” bat sized necks but Atkins add their standard C-shape to this model.
The Forty Three is both direct and powerful, but with an easy-playing shorter scale length, it’s easy to see why this guitar has been favoured by so many singer-songwriters over the years. The big-bodied slope shoulder shape, combined with Atkin's Baked Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, delivers warm mids, solid lows and great definition. It’s a timeless acoustic guitar tone.
