Atkin 000-12s Dust Bowl Acoustic Guitar
Catalogue No: igATK-DUS00012
The Dust Bowl series is inspired by the depression era guitars of the 1930s, with an all mahogany body, scalloped bracing and a soft V neck. Handmade as ever, and with Atkin's aged nitrocellulose finish, this guitar plays like a dream, sounds astonishing, and looks incredible.
What they say
Our Dust Bowl Series is inspired by some of the depression era guitars of the 1930’s. A lightweight all-mahogany body construction, scalloped braces, and soft-V neck carve that hugs your hand. The 16″ radius Indian Rosewood fingerboard with rounded-over edges makes ‘thumb-overtop’ playing easy and comfortable.
These Dust Bowl guitars have a full, rich and dry voice with enough of a push in the midrange to inspire any ragtime picker, while still giving plenty of warmth and openness across the strings to keep any player happy. It offers that ‘piano-like’ cavernous articulation in the bass end, and a sweet and well-rounded treble.
