Atkin The Thirty Six 12 Fret Acoustic Guitar

Catalogue No: igATK-L36-12

A very cool guitar from Alister Atkin and his team, this parlour sized guitar is the 12 fret version of the standard Thirty Six, taking inspiration from the era where American folk and blues really kicked off. Handmade with baked sitka spruce and mahogany back and sides, this guitar is a real piece of quality, and must be played to be believed. Comes with a hard case.

£3,499.00

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 ‘Thirty Six’ takes inspiration from those very guitars right at the time they became a pivotal part of American Folk and Blues music.

Carefully selected Baked 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.
