The Thirty Eight was introduced in 2019: A deluxe version of the long-scale J-45.
The 25.4″ scale length creates more tension on the strings, which brings the bridge closer to the end of the body.Sitka spruce combined with Macassar ebony produces an incredible, powerful tone, delivering a piano-like overtone spectrum beloved by Dreadnought fans.
Individual notes make the entire guitar resonate, creating an incredibly intense, reverb-rich overtone sound. The bass is "punchy" and very direct, almost double bass-like, while the highs are crisp. When strumming, the guitar feels like a one-man band. But it's also excellent for flatpicking and fingerstyle accompaniment.It is stunningly beautiful and incredibly fun to play.
This model is a unique piece from the Atkin Custom Shop, offering wonderfully authentic aging.A premium case is included in the price.
