Atkin 52-T 'The Fifty Two' in Olympic White Aged
The fifty two is Atkin's homage to the very earliest t-style guitars that started it all. This stunning guitar features a lightweight obeche body, quarter-sawn roasted flame maple neck topped with a veneer flame maple fingerboard, Lollar Charlie Christian pickup and a five-hole single ply pickguard topped with nitro for a period correct look. The fifty two combines bare bones simplicity and vintage style for a purposeful guitar that oozes character.
