Atkin Essential D Baked Sitka Mahogany 2019

The dreadnought is a classic design and one of the most popular steelstring models of all time. Atkin dreadnoughts are based on the classic and highly sought-after pre-war models of the 1930s.

While Atkin has long proven its guitar-building prowess, the aging process is perhaps the most impressive aspect of Atkin Guitars. The passion with which these instruments are crafted shines through, and it's hard not to fall in love with both the sound and the look!

The Essential D offers that 100% Atkin tone; stripped down to the bare essentials! Each Essential D features a Sitka spruce top braced with pre-war scalloped bracing, all of which is "baked" in Atkin's workshop. The mahogany back and sides are complemented by a lightweight mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard, just like some of the finest pre-war guitars. This is a proven combination, extremely popular with songwriters, and a workhorse that never gets old!

The guitar was built in 2019 and is in excellent condition. The first scratches and crackle were, of course, already applied by Atkin himself, and over the years, light playwear has appeared on the top and slightly heavier playwear on the body. However, the guitar is very clean and, thanks to the LR Baggs Anthem pickup and strap button on the heel, it's the ideal guitar for stage!

Comes with a TFOA passport in a TKL hardshell case.
