Guitarists in search of a versatile small-bodied guitar with spotlight-ready looks will do no finer!

Atkin's "Black Pearl" series gives a nod to the department store guitars of yesteryear, with its monochromatic finish and pearloid binding, pickguard, and headstock veneer. If a guitarist in search of a Gibson LG2 in the mid-1940's dared to special-order their instrument with a bit of 1930's flair, the result may have looked something like this. While we do dig the look, and Atkin's successful melding of features from different eras, the sound of this guitar is what's truly special. A powerful small-bodied flatpicker, the LG-47 is supremely playable, with its short scale and slim, medium-C neck shape. Guitarists in search of a versatile small-bodied guitar with spotlight-ready looks will do no finer! Priced with TKL hardshell case from Atkin.
