Atkin D37 Natural Aged

Atkin Guitars are becoming a real head-turner at TME these days. What makes folks 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).

The "37" Series is Atkin's take on the revered style-28 flattops of the Golden Era. This huge-sounding dreadnought has quickly become a shop favorite: its admirable blend of warmth, power, responsiveness, and clarity puts it on a pedestal with luthier-grade guitars twice its price! Hyperbole aside: if you're looking for a classically appointed rosewood dreadnought to anchor a bluegrass band AND sizzle on a microphone when it's time for a break, we're not sure there's anything in the price point that'll dethrone this guitar.

We also admire Atkin's embrace of a naturally aged finish. And his sunbursts are beautifully applied. 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.
