2021 Atkin LG47 Heavy Aged – £2299

NEW ARRIVAL I can’t remember the last time a British luthier made such an impact on the guitar buying market. Although Alistair Atkin’s been around for over 25 years, since he started building guitars based very closely on Gibson and Martin classics, he’s become a big name. He was also one of the first to use an ageing process in his guitar production that, together with light build and thin lacquer, allow them to age faster. This guitar is his take on a Gibson LG2, a classic 00 size guitar, with torrefied Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides. 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 ‘heavy aged’ condition, and is designed to show wear far more quickly to add to its vintage vibe. It has a Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup fitted, and comes in its original branded hard case.
