Atkin L-36 14 Fret Acoustic Guitar
Catalogue No: igATK-L36
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.

What they say
Also referred to as the Parlor guitar (depending on where you are in the world), this design is among the smallest of acoustic guitar body shapes. 1936 was a great year for the Parlor design and our L36 takes inspiration from those very guitars right at the time they became a pivotal part of American Folk and Blues music.
Carefully selected torrified Sitka Spruce is used for the top. Combined with their hand-scalloped bracing, it delivers a tight, bouncy tone that’s perfect for folky fingerpicking and blues-style flatpicking alike.
Whilst none of the guitars in the Atkin range come with electronics as standard, we’ll happily fit them for you on request. There are several options depending on your needs so give us a call to discuss.
