Atkin The Forty Seven - aged sunburst

Carefully handcrafted in England in small quantities,the ATKIN The Forty Seven (Aged Sunburst) is a stunning "Slope Shoulders" Concert-style steel-string acoustic guitar with a short scale (24.7/8"). Both its visual identity and its tonal character are undeniably and authentically vintage.

Its impeccable all-solid-wood construction features top-grade woods: a roasted Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, “pre-war scalloped” bracing, a mahogany neck, and a Santos rosewood fingerboard and bridge.
. Santos rosewood offers a high-quality tonal compromise between Indian rosewood and ebony.
. In addition to giving the wood an elegant patina, the roasting (“roasted” or “baked”) process improves the stability, sustain, clarity, and resonance of the instrument, while protecting it from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mold.
. This combination of characteristics produces a sound that is both warm and clear, with thick, precise bass, rich mids, and generous highs. Its acoustic volume is remarkable given its modest 00-style dimensions.

The Atkin The Forty Seven is an extremely appealing “small-body” acoustic guitar. Thanks to its flawless construction, high-quality woods, and bracing calibrated for its size, it offers an excellent balance between projection, tonal balance, and expressiveness.
While it can be considered versatile, it should particularly appeal to fingerpickers and fans of blues and bluegrass.
