Atkin 037 12-Fret Sitka-Indian

This Atkin O37S is a 0-size 12-fret from the company's 37 Series, built by hand in Canterbury, England. A torrified Sitka spruce top with pre-war scalloped bracing sits over East Indian rosewood back and sides, and the 12-fret neck joint places the bridge further down the lower bout, which helps a small body deliver surprising warmth, punch and sustain. Herringbone purfling, grained ivoroid binding and an ebony fingerboard and bridge give it a classic look, while the compact body and 24 7/8 inch scale make it an easy, comfortable guitar for fingerpicking, songwriting and long sessions on the couch. Serial number 4157.
