What's Hot
GAS has gotten the better of me and I am, therefore, listing a guitar I've had great pleasure in playing for the last few years.
For sale is my Atkin D37A (aged). You can see it has the pick wear typically seen on Atkin guitars, due to it's super think nitro finish. A sign of just how much I've enjoyed playing the guitar. It provides the outstanding sound Atkin guitars are known for and I encourage anyone interested to come and give it a try to confirm this - it really will not disappoint you. If you are looking for the vintage rosewood dreadnought sound, this hits that spot.
I'm based in Twickenham. Collection is preferred, but I am also happy to arrange delivery by courier, at the added expense to the buyer.
Asking price is £2,299 £2,099.

Comments
Have a free bump.
I'm obviously biased, but the Atkin does sound majestic. I'd recommend anyone to give it a go in person and hear it for themselves. I've learnt over the last couple of years that my ears prefer mahogany over rosewood, so I play my Adi Sinker dread more than the D37. And this guitar is too good to be kept in a case - hence the sale.
