2023 Atkin The Forty Three – £2499
NEW ARRIVAL Here we have another example of Atkin producing a guitar with vintage look and feel and aged tone. The Forty Three is unashamedly based on a 1943 Gibson J45, from their Golden Age of acoustics. With a Torrefied Sitka Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides, the guitar has a super thin aged toner nitro finish allowing the whole body to really resonate. The Spruce / Mahogany combination, give a rich tone, with great clarity, and the body size gives real depth and a full tone. The slope shoulder dreadnought body really packs a punch in the bass, making it a strummers’ dream. A really versatile guitar, with great playability, and a very comfortable body size. The guitar is in excellent, aged condition, and comes in it’s original deluxe hard case.
