This is a Atkin deluxe dreadnought acoustic guitar bought from Alistar Atkin 10 years ago when he had his workshop in Womenswold Kent. The guitar then cost £1500.

Deluxe means that the Grover tuners are gold plated and the purfling & inlay is more intricate and decorative than on the standard models.

Its a superb guitar to play. Unfortuantly when viewed closely the varnish is crazed all over the front of the guitar. There is also a small mark of damage to the left of the neck on the soundboard. (See Picture) To carry on gigging this guitar hard would make the laquer finish deteriorate even more. Everyone from Eddi Reader, Boo Hewerdine, Ronan Keating, Turin Brakes, Kris Dreever etc etc play Atkin guit ars. They are superb. This one plays like a dream but looks like its had to endure read more
