    These are awesome guitars and this looks like an excellent example. Someone buy it before I get a worried phone call from my bank.

    That's a gorgeous guitar, but are you sure about the weight? That's lighter than a small-bodied headless guitar like the Allan Holdsworth signature. And that's a really tiny guitar.

    I’m pretty sure guitarist reviewed that actual guitar and quoted that weight. There’s a video I think somewhere of it
    Absolutely lovely. Probably too close to my novo serus t, but I’m tempted

    @wellsyboy I have 5 Atkin electrics and an Atkin parlour.

    I absolutely love the electrics: an 'S' type; a '52 Tele-type; a Boosh 'Esquire'; a Mindhorn and the Boosh that's for sale. 

    Truly lovely guitars.

    @Epsilon @Carlos @chris78 the weight is correct.

  • I am now the proud owner of the Atkin Boosh. The whole experience of dealing with @Castro went beyond my expectations as did the guitar itself which was shipped to me with utmost care. To say I’m happy is an understatement and I would heartily recommend him to anyone in a position to buy one of the fine instruments he is selling.

    Much appreciated @fendergibson it eases the pain of letting the Boosh go to know that it has a happy home. Not to overlook the fact that you've moved me closer to my 'eye operation' target.

  • I'm not currently in the market for a new guitar, but I wanted to echo what @fendergibson has said about dealing with Steve (@Castro). You can definitely buy from him with absolute confidence.
