Atkin Guitars

Atkin Guitars stands for handcrafted acoustic guitars with character, personality, and an unmistakable love for detail. Since the 1990s, instruments have been created in Canterbury that are inspired by the great examples of American guitar-building history, yet bear a very unique signature.

The spectrum ranges from authentically aged vintage models with elaborately executed relicing to modern interpretations and exceptional custom guitars. What's crucial is not just the beautiful appearance: Atkin guitars impress above all with their lively response, dynamics, and often surprisingly mature sound.

At 12Fret Guitars, we carefully select our Atkin instruments based on sound, playability, and character. This creates a rotating selection of special guitars—from small, intimate parlor models to powerful dreadnoughts and individual unique pieces.
