Atkin / L36-12 / 2023 / Sunburst / Guitar
|
With this guitar, Atkin have taken the already classic L36 (Thirty Six), which is based on a Gibson L-00, and with a nod from history recreated the early 30’s version with a 12 fret neck. The guitar still features a Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides – the difference being that the 12 fret neck changes the tone and string tension. The Sitka Spruce top has been baked to age the tone, and also features Santos Rosewood fretboard and bridge, and is finished off with a super thin Aged Nitro finish and a stunning tobacco burst. The guitar is refreshingly different sounding – unusual to hear a deeper bass on a 00 size guitar. It’s a great fingerpicker, working really well for blues, ragtime and country blues. The strummed tone is bright and punchy, well detailed and evenly balanced. It feels effortless to play, and great fun to have such a different sound. The guitar is in excellent ‘aged’ condition, and comes in it’s original hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
