Rickenbacker 360/12C63 Fireglo electric...
A faithful reproduction of the original Rickenbacker 360 12-string. The 2nd one ever made was presented to George Harrison in 1963 and immortalized in 'A Hard Day's Night'. It sounds fantastic, it (obviously) looks great, and the feel and playability do the job nicely. One other thing - even unplugged this thing sounds amazing, obviously not what it was...

£ 3,099.00Atkin LG-47 Sunburst Relic Finish Acoustic...
This Atkin is inspired by Gibson's LG series of guitars, and it sounds phenomenal. It is a relic'd guitar, but not to the point of excess; the guitar still shines. There's a big old Gibson thump to this guy, and there's a classic bluesy twang there too. Rather special, all in all.

A stunning handmade guitar from Alister and his team, with a torrified sitka spruce top, and mahogany neck, back and sides. The fretboard is made of santos rosewood (Pau Ferro), and this little guy certainly packs a punch, with pre-war scalloped bracing to help that projection and resonance.

We've been huge fans of Atkin for a while here at Forsyths and the 37 models are always fantastic.

What you have here is a professional...
