Don't be fooled into thinking this Atkin 000-12 fret is "just a fingerpicking guitar" because of the Mahogany top.

The Atkin "Dustbowl" series takes its inspiration from the student-level all-Mahogany guitars of the 1930's. And while an original, 12-fret Martin 000 is an incredibly rare guitar, perhaps it's time others jumped on the bandwagon of its sonic potential. This is a wonderful sounding instrument, with plenty of power, focus, and sustain -- and the added edge of the fundamental warmth imparted by its Mahogany top. Don't be fooled into thinking it's "just a fingerpicking guitar" because of the Mahogany top. It's gorgeous when strummed to accompany vocals, and shows a surprising amount of power and presence when used as a solo flatpicker. As we've come to expect from an Atkin, lightness of build, responsiveness, and openness in a new guitar are all on center stage here as well. Priced with TKL hardshell case from Atkin.
