Atkin has been building and repairing this style of guitar longer than any other and, as with the J-45, every vintage specimen they've worked on has taught them something different. All this knowledge was put into designing instruments which are as truthful to the vintage originals as can be. With its deep body and scalloped braces, the Atkin dreadnought puts out an incredibly strong, full sound. It’s one of the biggest sounding guitars they make, and it really stands out when you’re playing alongside other instruments, live or in the studio.

Features the classic combination of a torrified (or baked/aged etc..) Sitka spruce top coupled to mahogany back and sides, firm soft-V shaped mahogany neck with ebony fretboard, rosewood headstock overlay, ebony bridge with long saddle, open geared tuners and beautiful aging treatment. Powerful, tasteful both in looks & sound.

Inlcuded a Atkin hardshell case, with certificate of authenticity and case candy.
