  • The Forty Three is a total song machine and I could not put it down. Based on Buddy Holly's Gibson J-45, Atkin Guitars have produced nothing less than a miracle guitar.

    Dude, that guitar sounds amazing. 👌 Only ever seen Atkin in 'cross-the-pond videos, but they are stunning. The kinds of guitars you'd want to take to sing songs around a campfire but be afraid to take for fear of something happening to it. Stray cinder. Raccoon attack. Drunk brother stumbling into you. Trees not providing adequate acoustics...

    Amazing guitar. I have a 2010 J45 and it used to sound like this. I couldn’t play it because the action was too high. So I sanded down the saddle. Now I can play it but it doesn’t have the same tone as it used to 😢

      The Eastman is warmer across the mids and doesn’t have the J45 thump on the bottom or the sparkle on the top…different voicing.
      Still, the Eastman sounds very, very good.

      Ouch, there is NO way i could justify that! For $1500 odd i can get an Eastman SS either 20 or 10, haven't made my mind up which yet, but they are very close to the J45, and a LOT less money. No way these prices can be justified under that sort of scrutiny.
