Atkin OOO37s - Aged Finish #1904
Hand-crafted in Canterbury, Kent by Alister Atkin and his small team of talented luthiers, the OOO-series guitars are based very closely on the pre-war guitars which are revered by so many players who love sweet, singing trebles on a versatile all-rounder.
Moving the 12 fret to the body has three important consequences: Firstly, the bridge moves closer to the centre of the lower bout where it can vibrate more freely, altering the tone and sustain of the instrument; secondly, the shorter neck is also stiffer, putting more of the strings’ energy into the soundboard. Finally, the nut moves closer to the player’s body, making for a comfortable playing position.
