2023 Atkin L36-12 – £2499

NEW ARRIVAL With this guitar, Atkin have taken the already classic L36 (Thirty Six), which is based on a Gibson L-00, and with a nod from history recreated the early 30’s version with a 12 fret neck. The guitar still features a Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides – the difference being that the 12 fret neck changes the tone and string tension. The Sitka Spruce top has been baked to age the tone, and also features Santos Rosewood fretboard and bridge, and is finished off with a super thin Aged Nitro finish and a stunning tobacco burst. The guitar is refreshingly different sounding – unusual to hear a deeper bass on a 00 size guitar. It’s a great fingerpicker, working really well for blues, ragtime and country blues. The strummed tone is bright and punchy, well detailed and evenly balanced. It feels effortless to play, and great fun to have such a different sound. The guitar is in excellent ‘aged’ condition, and comes in it’s original hard case.
