Not going to be easy to sell this one due the name on the headstock, and frankly i'm not bothered if it doesn't. 

Atlas Luxurious (naff name I know) super-strat. Absolutely stunning guitar, hand crafted in Thailand, top top quality woods used throughout, Wilkinson hardware and hand made Atlas p/ups.


Ive owned several Atlas's over the years, and they really are great guitars, you should check them out if you ever get the chance.

Couple of build shots:



Thick maple top on stunning Ash one piece body, highly flamed maple neck and what I believe to be an Ebony fretboard, but it might well be Cocoboa. If you look at the headstock, the flame is not a veneer, its the one piece maple neck.



Have only got a quality gig bag , so would need to be collected, would meet up within reasonable distance of Dunstable.

£695  slight drop to £670  big reduction to £580

    Bugger, this guitar has haunted me ever since I played one at a guitar show!! Every time one shows up I haven't got the cash!!

    If my PRS sells I'll be in touch.

    Its 8 lbs. I'm not great with neck profile descriptions, but having had a feel around my other stuff I'd say its close to my PRS wide fat with more of a c shape, its definately bigger than my Tom Anderson Hollow Classic, but is a similar profile.
    One thing I forgot to say in the post is that it has a satin finish with large frets, which is beautiful to play.

    Not sure you can buy them anymore, the guy who makes them has stopped due to ill health.This model was around £1200 I believe, 6/7 years ago.

    Beautiful guitar...

    I tried a few of these a few years ago at a distributors house in Swansea. Every one was superb.

    Anyone considering this guitar don't let the name on the headstock put you off - these are up there with Anderson & Suhr's.

    If I had the cash I would be buying this today.

    Awesome guitar @prudd

    Thanks for the comments Darren,that would have been Paul Cumming you dealt with, a great guy and very helpfull, never been to his house but have met him many times at various North West Guitar shows when I lived up north.

    Ive owned a few of them over the years, all of them great guitars, most of them that I sold went to people I know.

    Wish I could afford that one, I have two Atlas guitars, an Atlas Elegant and a Star Saphire which I think was once owned by you. Atlas are great guitars and its a shame more people don't know about them.
    Good luck with the sale.

    I had the opportunity to see this guitar (briefly, in a Tescos car park!) this morning.

    It is stunning in the flesh.  Materials looks top quality, and as Prudd pointed out, that headstock is NOT veneered - that's the degree of flame that's in the neck.
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Yes Pete that Sapphire was one that I owned, sold it to a friend up north. It was one of 3 atlas's that i bought from a guy near Manchester over a period of a couple of years.
    You'd have a nice trio of Atlas's if you could buy the Luxurious.

    If Only, spoke to the wife about it, she's not having it I'm afraid. See what happens if I can sell my Bacchus! Sorry to have muscled in on your thread by the way.

    OK, just as i thought, a difficult one to sell, your missing out, its a stunning guitar crafted from top quality woods for very little money, and talking of money I have dropped the price a touch!
