Atkin Essential OM Natural Aged
Atkin Guitars werd in 1995 opgericht in Canterbury, Engeland. Alister Atkin begon als eenmansbedrijf, en bouwde als zodanig enkele handgemaakte gitaren per jaar. Gaandeweg werd het bedrijf door het grote succes van de gitaren uitgebreid naar zeven medewerkers, maar de gitaren zijn altijd handgemaakt gebleven.
Deze OM is onderdeel van de Essential Series van Atkin. De gitaren uit deze serie beschikken alle over een Baked Sitka sparren bovenblad, een mahonie klankkast en een toets en brug van ebbenhout. De gitaren beschikken over de essenties die een gitaar nodig hebben, en hebben daardoor voor de volle 100% de Atkin tone!
Met zijn lange mensuur en kleinere bodyvorm dan een dreadnought is de OM een comfortabele gitaar om te bespelen. Door het gebakken bovenblad met speciale bracing beschikt deze compacte gitaar desondanks over een rijke sound met voldoende bas.
De gitaar wordt met echtheidscertificaat geleverd in een koffer van TKL.

Atkin Guitars was founded in Canterbury, England, in 1995. Since then, they've grown steadily from a one-man operation building a handful of one-of-a-kind instruments each year to become one of the UK’s leading acoustic guitar makers. Still in Canterbury, now a two-man operation, they build around 80 guitars a year, each one still handmade and still completely unique.
The Atkin Essential OM-37 Relic is one of the most amazing guitars in our stock and based on one of the most legendary steel string acoustic guitar designs of all time, the traditional 1937 orchestra model. OM18, the Alister Atkins vision of the classic OM features an Atkin torrified Sitka Spruce top in combination with Mahogany back and sides, and you can hear the difference i promise you!
This tonewood combination gives the guitar a full and focused sound with great tonal dynamics and great response. The Mahogany neck has been fitted with an Ebony fingerboard and 43 mm nutwidth, which makes this a perfectly comfortable guitar for either intricate fingerpicking or strumming.
