Guitar Page Header~Alister Atkin has been building up a great reputation for his very fine hand built guitars for quite a few years now. Based in Canterbury Alister's guitars are played by Eddie Reader, Nick Harper, Boo Hewerdene and Kate Walsh to name a few. Recently the OM and J-45 have had great reviews in the British guitar press and he has received two awards from Guitarist Magazine. We are very impressed with the build quality and tone, even more so with the great prices.~~~11734~11736~~

Incredible but controllable power, with strong, deep basses, warm and tight mids and responsive, precise trebles its a great flatpicker and strummer but capable of much, much more.

Atkin small jumbo sitka/rosewood~A beautiful sixteen inch small Jumbo form Alister in sitka and rosewood with Ebony bridge, peghead veneer and bindings. Controlable power is the main attribute of this guitar, it has immense depth for those classic Jumbo strumming moments. It responds incredibly well to attacking struming or flat-picking but it is equally at ease with a lighter touch, loosing none of its deep and warm bass, vibrant mids or ringing trebles.

Atkin J-45 sitka/rosewood - SOLD~I always think of what I call a slope shouldered dreadnought as a dreadnought plus, all the power of a dread but with a tad more control and separation. This homage to a guitar of earlier times sounds better than any vintage descendant we've heard. Its incredibly versatile with well defined dark 'n deep bass, full, rich mids and sweet, clear trebles. Its in sitka and rosewood with twenty four and seven eights inch scale, one and eleven sixteenths nut width and a sixteen inch lower bout.
