This Hawaiian Master Reserve is a guitar that just keeps giving.

Adirondack Spruce up top, Honduran Mahogany back and sides, Madagascan Rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge, finished with an alluringly dark Sunburst finish.

It’s a gorgeous guitar, and it’s still waiting for the right player… so get in touch if you’d like to order.

This might be our toughest showdown yet.

Alister puts two freshly finished guitars head to head: a natural-top J43 with a gorgeous Adirondack top, and a blinged-out OM37 that’s sophisticated but will still turn heads.

Which one sounds better to you? 👇

Earlier this year we paid a visit to who are just around the corner from us!

We discovered this when our friend Joe Green — who runs .tech in Maidstone — invited us down. He and (another great player) were trying out some valve amps with a few of our electric models they’d brought along with them.

It was great to meet Steph from Stave, and if you’re a creative near Canterbury after a space to shoot or record, give Stave a shout. More videos with the TheGuitarTech lads on the way 🎸

Fresh off the bench: a 0037 Custom for our good friend and long-time Atkin player Boo Hewerdine.

This guitar features an Olive Green Sitka Spruce top with Indian Rosewood back and sides, complemented by Pearloid binding, Herringbone purfling and a Pearloid headstock veneer — similar to our Black Pearl series, but the Olive Green top gives it a whole new vibe.

Boo also had us fit a K&K Pure Mini pickup for gigging, so hopefully we’ll see him on stage with it soon!

During her visit to the Atkin Workshop tried out a freshly completed OM37, and it seems like they made a good match… as she treated us to a fantastic demo 🤩

Thanks again for coming by Anna!

During our recent session with we got talking about his latest run of shows, The Songbook Tour, which he’s just wrapped up after a month on the road.

The idea behind it was to bring new life to the songs that had fallen by the wayside to allow newer material to take the spotlight. Revisiting them let him look at those old songs in a new light, and what surprised him most was which ones still worked and which ones didn’t.

He also talks about how his songwriting has changed in the years since — the songs he wrote looking forward, and what they mean playing them looking back.

Head to our YouTube channel to watch the full conversation with Luke!

Say hello to 12 Fret Guitars — based in Hamburg and dedicated to all things 12-fretted 🙌

They’ve just listed a couple of ours, including this Essential D Custom, with a few more of our 12-fret models heading their way soon.

This one pairs a warm sunburst spruce top with natural-finish flame maple back and sides, finished off with a pearloid headstock overlay, our Black Pearl logo, and ebony fingerboard and bridge.

If 12 fretted is your thing, then the team at 12 Fret have you covered.

The L36 in Argentine Grey + Gold Sparkle is a match made in guitar heaven…

But what do you guys think, and would you like to see this trim on any of our other models?
