What we say:
At A Glance:
This Atkin J43 The Forty Three, delivers on old world styling with a fantastic vintage tone. Atkin, builders of some of the most beautiful acoustic guitars in the world, have built this fantastic slope-shouldered 'Forty Three' model with a torrefied Sitka Spruce top to really nail that old-world American Sound. With the finest and most authentic materials combined with handworked craftsmanship this British built guitar is hard to beat by any standard.
Features We Love:
Hand Made in England
Atkin acoustics are all made by hand in Canterbury by a small team of artisans. The quality speaks for itself in the detailing, sound, projection and finishing.
Torrefied Top
Torrefaction is a process where the timber is essentially baked. This dries out the moisture and changes the tone and response of the wood, effectively ageing the sound. The result is an instrument that is new, but sounds like it's a hundred years old! It's astonishing and, more importantly, it works!
Great 'period' details
The shape is perfect, the burst is exactly the right shade, the headstock decals convince and the nitro finish gives it that authentic feel that is ready to be broken in with many years of playing. Every detail is exactly right. Even the scale-length, at 24.9", helps the Atkin Forty Three capture that vintage feel.
Who Is It For?
The discerning acoustic player after an expertly crafted new guitar that still captures a vintage look, feel, and tone. Atkin are currently building some of the finest acoustic guitars on the market.
