Founder Alister Atkin and his team of six seek to bring out the instrument's very soul in each Atkin model, focusing on what makes an acoustic what it is and what keeps it from being everything that it can be.

As it turns out, what's true for Atkin is also true for most things: Feel is foremost. Filigree is frivolous. Personality is paramount, and most importantly, what's best is always best.

Founded in Canterbury, England, in 1995, Atkin Guitars' uses a combination of traditional techniques and a little modern technology to handcraft around 350 guitars a year, all emanating the indefinable qualities that delight, surprise, and inspire us even after decades as players.

From Atkin:

The OM, or “Orchestra Model” combines a full scale length with a slightly scaled down body – it is narrower and shallower than a “D” style guitar like our White Rice or Essential D.  The challenge for all OM builders is to allow for a rich, commanding bass in spite of the the smaller, more ergonomic body, and our hand-scalloped bracing and torrified select Sitka top allows us to make this a reality.

Our OM is popular with fingerstyle guitar players, but in truth it’s a great all-rounder and suits singer-songwriters and folk artists as well.

We’ve departed in several ways from the classic pre-war style: A larger top dome, our lifetime-guaranteed neck/body joint, and a two-way truss rod are among the changes,  so this isn’t a historical reproduction, but a modern British-made guitar with heaps of mojo!
