2019 Atkin LG47 R – £2499
SOLD Handcrafted in Canterbury, Alistair Atkin has the knack of producing guitars with vintage look and feel and aged tone. The LG47 is unashamedly based on a 1947 Gibson LG2, from their Golden Age of acoustics. The guitar features a torrefied Sitka Spruce top with a super thin aged toner nitro finish, and Honduras Mahogany back and sides. The Spruce / Mahogany combination give a rich warm tone, and the body size gives fantastic balance. The resonance is probably the main thing you notice – single notes chime, and the sustain is really impressive. Overall it’s a great all rounder, very comfortable to play and even better to listen to. The guitar is in excellent ‘relic’ condition, has a Fishman Sonitone pickup system fitted, and comes in it’s original branded hard case.
