At the end of the day, what's more important -- being able to see your reflection in a guitar's finish, or being inspired by its sound when you pick it up?

Why We Love This

What makes us 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). This 13-fret L-36 is somewhat akin to a Nick Lucas, though it retains the standard body depth of an L-00. It looks absolutely fantastic (reminds us a lot of the 1939 L-0 we had recently!); and it's got the sound to match. It's open, warm, and sweet, with amazing projection for a small bodied guitar.

We also admire Atkin's embrace of a naturally aged finish. At the end of the day, what's more important -- being able to see your reflection in a guitar's finish, or being inspired by its sound when you pick it up? 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.

Brand Story

Founded in 1995, Atkin Guitars have grown into one of the UK's premier brands by creating beautifully made, vintage-inspired instruments that possess feel, personality, and spark. Their focus is less on making "exhibition pieces" and more about inspiring the musicians who pick them up.

"We’re passionate about the history and evolution of the acoustic guitar, the classic models and great innovations that have influenced the players and the music that we love. We want to tell that story with our guitars. Over the years, we’ve worked on just about every model you can name, from golden-era pre-war Martins and Gibsons to the boutique makers who shook things up in the 70s and 80s. We know these guitars inside and out, and we pour all of that experience into every guitar we make."
