Atkin J43 Deluxe Rosewood Argentine Grey ~ Secondhand

Atkin J43 Deluxe Argentine Grey made in 2024, featuring a solid baked Sitka Spruce top, solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, a 1 11/16" nut width and a 25" scale length, finished with gold sparkle rosette and purfling and complete with case. 

The Forty Three is both direct and powerful, but with an easy-playing shorter scale length, it’s easy to see why this guitar has been favoured by so many singer-songwriters over the years. The big-bodied slope shoulder shape, combined with a Baked Sitka spruce top and Mahogany back and sides, delivers warm mids, solid lows and great definition. It’s a timeless acoustic guitar tone.

All Atkin acoustic guitars have an “Aged Finish”. Eight coats of Nitro Lacquer with a yellow tint are applied to give a thin gloss finish, the guitar is then frozen to achieve the  vintage look, which includes lacquer cracks and sinking, plus odd blemishes that you would expect from an old instrument. The tuners, bridge pins and saddle are also cosmetically aged to further enhance the appearance.
