With its D37, Atkin has a very strong dreadnought model in its range, based on the classic pre-war models from the 1930s. However, we asked Atkin to build a variation on this model, and we are happy to have the D37S 12 Fret at The Fellowship of Acoustics!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 12-fret Dreadnought is a special model, and has a different character than its 14-fret counterpart. Due to the positioning of the bridge, the 12-fret has significantly more bass than the regular dreadnought, and is therefore much more of a fingerstyle guitar than a strummer. The 14-fret Dreadnought was developed as a successor to the 12-fret to be louder and brighter, but the 12-fret has always retained its fan base due to its distinctive character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of the 37 series, Atkin has also equipped this guitar with an Indian rosewood back and sides and a baked Sitka spruce top with scalloped X-Bracing. The body is adorned with an ivoroid binding and herringbone purfling, while the traditional rosette and tortoise pickguard complete the picture. The mahogany neck has a comfortable profile and plays smoothly, and the traditional look of the guitar is completed by the slotted headstock with rosewood headstock overlay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Atkin has been proving for some time that the brand can build a guitar like no other, the aging process is perhaps the most impressive aspect of Atkin Guitars. The passion with which these instruments were made radiates from it, and it is difficult not to fall in love with both the sound and the appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 2025 Atkin still looks great and is in excellent condition. Alongside its aged finish, it has picked up some light playing wear, in the form of two small dents on the top and minimal scratches spread across the guitar. The guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity in a TKL hardshell case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis guitar has been carefully checked for condition and playability and then set up by a luthier according to our Gold Standard. We make sure it arrives with you exactly as it should: with the best tone, effortlessly playable, and ready to enjoy from the very first note.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atkin","offers":[{"title":"3881","offer_id":53877625094491,"sku":"109579-3881","price":3949.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/6607\/7019\/files\/AtkinD37S12FretDreadnoughtNaturalAged2025-3.jpg?v=1788358676","url":"https:\/\/www.tfoa.eu\/products\/atkin-d37s-12-fret-dreadnought-natural-age-2025","provider":"TFOA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
