Atkin J43 DLX Argentine Grey Aged #3835

Atkin J43 DLX Argentine Grey, featuring a solid torrefied Sitka Spruce top, solid Mahogany back and sides, Indian Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, gold sparkle rosette and purfling, a 1 11/16" nut width and a 24 7/8" scale length. 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.
