Atkin OM37 Aged #3702

Atkin OM37, featuring a solid torrefied Sitka Spruce top, solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, a 1 11/16" nut width and a 25.4" scale length. Complete with case.

The Atkin OM is for many players a “desert island” guitar. If they had to pick just one, this is the one that can do it all! The OM, or “Orchestra Model” combines a full scale length with a slightly scaled down body. It is narrower and shallower than a Dreadnought style guitar. The challenge for all OM builders is to allow for a rich, commanding bass in spite of the the smaller, more ergonomic body, and Atkin's hand-scalloped bracing and torrified select Sitka top allows this to be a reality. The OM is popular with fingerstyle guitar players, but in truth it’s a great all-rounder and suits singer-songwriters and folk artists as well. Comes complete with TKL Atkin case.

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.
