Atkin 12 Fret L36, The Thirty Six, Aged Finish Guitar

12 fret to body join acoustic with wonderfully aged finishing and Torrified Spruce top Mahogany body construction, this is a UK made guitar. This Atkin L36 12 Fret offers players a traditional character and sympathetically subtly Relic'd Nitro finishing and feel on a gorgeous sounding 24 7/8 scale length guitar. The 12 fret design helps move the bridge into the perfect sweet spot, so even the lightest of touches excites the top and creates a most creative and responsive highly musical tone. Other features on this intuitive 12 fret include hand-scalloped pre war bracing, bone nut and saddle, Nickel Kluson tuners, and an elevated all-round attention to detail that cannot fail to impress any level of player. A most exceptional UK crafted guitar from a builder with a reputation growing by the day. We are finding these guitars very hard to keep in stock, and have experienced lengthening build times due to massive demand.

Read on for a bit of history about the influences behind this Atkin 36 (thirty Six) guitar and its body shape and sound in the words of the team who created it. 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.
