Traded - Atkin The Forty Three, Acoustic Guitar

AlexO

I'm sure this needs no introduction or plays like butter sales pitch.
A forum favouite this model and with good reason. Have a search for the threads and I'm sure those who have played/ owned one will chip in.

Recently acquired from @db1. Incredible instrument and the relic work is outstanding but as much as I want to be... I'm not much use on acoustic guitar so now that I've ran through my small acoustic repertoire its time it goes to some one who knows how to use it.

The forum price is £1950 it's going on ebay and the rest for £2150.

In mint condition as is the stunning Atkins case.

Happy to upload some pics for you, Alex, if you like. Fabulous guitar, but I ran into the same problem. After the fifth time through 'Where Do You Go To My Lovely', the answer came back - 'to a divorce solicitor if I hear that bleedin' song again'.

I played it again, of course, but turns out she was bluffing. 

Alex is great to deal with and has a dog to fall in love with and a cat to be very respectful of. I thoroughly enjoyed dealing with Alex and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Had a few messages regarding trades.

I would be interested in the following -

Gretsch 6120 / Falcons / Penguins/ Duo jets 

Gibson ES 330

Fender CS 50s teles or strats.

I'm based in South Manchester and a little busy to be driving to the other side of the country but don't mind a shortish drive.

Bump

I'll add something to this - I meant to earlier, but forgot. I bought it from Sound Affects Premier, and Andy there (who has recently left) insisted that it was the best playing and sounding acoustic guitar, in his opinion, that they'd had. He even told me that on many occasions AFTER I'd bought it.....  

Bearing in mind some of their stock, it was high praise indeed.

Thanks @DB1 your post must have helped as it's going in a trade tomorrow.
