Atkin J43 Forty Three Aged Sunburst acoustic guitar. Atkin Guitars was founded in Canterbury, England, in 1995. Still in Canterbury, they build around 350 guitars a year, each one still handmade. The J43 has built with Baked solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. Baked top ensures that the top is exposed to heat and pressure, so that it has already lost much of its moisture to this treatment. The result is a guitar with a played in character like an older vintage acoustic guitar. The scale length is 632mm (24.9"), neck is mahogany with bone nut and saddle. It has Santos Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish, nickel Kluson tuners. J43 is perfect for strumming play style and fingerstyle solo players, it has less bass response than standard Dreadnought shape guitars but still has the same dynamic headroom, it has really well balanced overall sounding. It comes with Atkin hardcase.
