Product information

The "Essential" Series is Atkin's take on the revered style-18 flattops of the Golden Era. The OM is a clear nod to the classic fingerstyle Orchestra Models introduced in the 1930's and revered by instrumentalists for decades. With a slightly longer scale length than the Essential 000 and Mahogany back and sides, this OM offers powerful, textured tone with plenty of balance as well as a nice punch in the low end.

This guitar was originally ordered and sold by TME; and the first owner traded it in favor of a smaller-bodied instrument. Its overall condition remains excellent (the finish checking is factory-original). There are no significant blemishes, playwear, or fretwear. Our shop has inspected the guitar and set it up anew. Priced includes the guitar's original hard case.
