Alister Atkin (Atkin Guitars) - Building new guitars with old souls
Manage episode 430496224 series 2896834
My guest this week is Alister Atkin of Atkin Guitars.
I've been following Atkin's progress for a few years now and have been blown away by the quality of guitars they're producing. They combine some cutting edge techniques with a bespoke approach, to bring out the uniqueness of every guitar they make. As Alister puts it: 'We're all about getting the feel and the sound of the instrument, and the aura of a great instrument.'
We talk about some of these processes, including baking wood, freezing guitar bodies and even 3D printing moulds, as well as how Alister got into guitar making in the first place. We also chat about Atkin's White Rice model, a tribute to the Martin D28 owned by Clarence White, then Tony Rice (hence the name!) and the new range of electric guitars they're making.
You can find info and drool over their guitars at https://atkinguitars.com/ and follow the Atkin Guitars Instagram feed for updates.
But what I'd really urge you to do is to find one and play it, which you can do by checking the list of Atkin Guitar dealers around the world.
It was a fascinating chat - I hope you enjoy it.
Happy picking,
Matt
