Hi all,
This review of an Atkin D37 has just gone live on the Acoustic Review Youtube
I was really impressed with this guitar - loved the look and the sound! It's sat in my lounge at the moment all boxed up and waiting to be collected and I've had to resist the temptation to cut open the sellotape a couple of times!

Nice review. Does it have a similar vibe to your Collings traditional guitar?

Nice review. Does it have a similar vibe to your Collings traditional guitar? Sort of - although it's definitely more on the Martin side of the coin. I'd really like to try a rosewood OM - I suspect that it would be somewhere between my Martin and my Collings, with a good bass but thicker trebles... the problem is a guitar that combined those two characteristics would probably be my dream instrument and I certainly can't afford a new guitar at the moment!!

One of my favourite guitars might be leaving this weekend. These are crazy times.

I have a Santa Cruz OM in rosewood. The smaller sized tightens the sound quite a bit - it is still a rosewood guitar but not as ‘boomy’as a dread or jumbo.

Hey andyhowell - yeah enjoyed playing that guitar a lot! Both my guitars are rosewood OMs so I'd like to hear what Atkin's take sounds like (though I'm mainly lusting over a little 'essential' 0 at the moment!)
