Atkin Essential D Argentine Grey Top with Case

Hand built in the UK ·

A stunning Argentine Grey Top Mahogany back and sides with Spruce top UK made Dreadnought. Features include 25.5" scale and 1-11/16 nut size with Ebony bridge and fingerboard. The Essential D is an understated instrument packed full of character and benefits from the popular Aged Finishing Alister Atkin is so respected and admired for. This provides a subtly pre aged look and feel that not only helps produces a golden era sound, but also just feels right in your hands.

This is what Alister has to say about this model. The Essential D offers 100% Atkin tone – stripped down to the bare essentials! Each Essential D sports a North American Sitka spruce top and braced with pre-war scalloped bracing, all of which is baked in house here at Atkin. Mahogany back and sides are complimented by a lightweight mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard – just like some of the finest Pre-War guitars. This is a time proven combination, extremely popular with songwriters; a work horse that never gets tired!
