The Atkin Forty Seven – LG47 in Candy Apple Red is a head-turning tribute to the golden era of small-bodied acoustics, wrapped in a bold custom finish that blends vintage soul with modern swagger. With a baked Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this guitar delivers that dry, punchy midrange and woody warmth that made the '40s LG-style guitars famous. The pre-war scalloped bracing unlocks a surprising amount of volume and resonance for its size, while the short 24 7/8" scale length and smooth 16" radius make it incredibly comfortable and responsive—perfect for fingerstyle blues, folk strumming, and singer-songwriter sessions alike.
Atkin Guitars, founded by Alister Atkin in Canterbury, England, has earned a worldwide following for its ability to reimagine vintage tones with a meticulous eye for detail and an ear for what players truly want. Alister’s mission has always been to craft guitars that feel like they’ve been played for decades, and the LG47 is a shining example—complete with an age-toned relic gloss nitrocellulose finish in a striking Candy Apple Red that shimmers with character and charm.
The LG47 features a comfortable mahogany neck with a Santos rosewood fingerboard and bridge, offering a smooth, articulate playing experience with rich harmonic depth. The minimalist cream rosette and binding keep things clean and classy, while the gold Atkin decal with banner on the maple headstock overlay adds a touch of vintage elegance. Nickel Gotoh tuners with cream buttons ensure reliable tuning, and subtle white side dots and mother-of-pearl fret markers round out the understated vibe. Weighing in at just 3 lb 10 oz and tucked into a custom Atkin black case, the Forty Seven LG47 is a lightweight powerhouse that combines retro aesthetics with serious tone—perfect for the stage, the studio, or the couch.
