Atkin Dust Bowl O14 Acoustic Guitar
Catalogue No: igATK-DUSTBOWL014
This tiny little beautiful guitar is reminiscent of the Depression Era 1930s guitars, with an all solid mahogany body and an ebony nut. A handmade marvel, the guitar features scalloped bracing, a soft V neck and a rosewood fingerboard to boot. With Atkin's own aged nitrocellulose finish, the "cracks" in the lacquer really help the tone, and make this small guitar sound massive.
£3,249.00
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.
