Yeah, man! I picked up an Atkin Essential D a couple years ago and it is FANTASTIC!

Yeah, really well-built nice sound too.

New to me, the Atkin guitar. Looks like a Gibson model. I like the finishing work came out nice. I won't be putting a pickup in my D-18. LOL

Ironic that people pay builders to beat up their guitars and then pay luthiers to fix them when they themselves actually beat them up. Anyway, beautiful instrument and great install. Thanks for the informative video. Subscribed!

I’ve a OO, twelve fret, slothead Atkin. It’s fantastic. Atkin bases his guitars on classic Martins and Gibsons. His guitars come aged as standard, but they will do a non aged finish if that’s what you want.

Hey ! thats the same as my J19 ! also lefty 👌👌👌👌👌

Did not see the saddle lowered .. how was the action addressed? I'm assuming this was just about the install. Touch up matched pretty well. Lot of great, small builders out there. As for repairs, mods and builders, cost can dictate outcome. " Can't always get what you want."

As Bryan Kimsey says "don't practice on your guitar" if you are drilling to fit a jack.

Wonderful repair! What are you using to color?

@vindustrialguitars 3 ай бұрын

Thanks…just leather dyes for color and shellac for a seal coat

I played the same Martin for 30 years. I bought the first Atkin I ever played. It’s the best guitar I’ve ever played. I love Atkin so much, I bought 2 more in the following 2 months. I’ll probably get another one. Grab one before they catch on in the states and the price skyrockets.

@vindustrialguitars 3 ай бұрын

There up there now I think they go for about 3k or more…yeah great guitar

@BulldoggerJK 3 ай бұрын

@@vindustrialguitars they’ve went up to around $4k for the base models. I think they are the level of Collings and other boutiques that are way more. I feel lucky to have a couple dealers in my state. I haven’t played this much guitar in years.

@BulldoggerJK No thank you those two guitars are pure junk sorry. 4k and up for and bolt on neck. No thank you. That is why Martin ,Santa Cruz ,and Gibson are the best guitars on the market. DT and MT neck joints are the best, if I want a bolt on neck, or electric. I'll buy an electric guitar. My D-16 Martin eats those piece of shits up. That is a fact

J45 here man. D18 has such a distinct tone, you could pick one out blindfolded. Being strummed of course. Love my j though.

@billpoplin2534 3 ай бұрын

Didn't know there was a 16.

@williamguion2195 3 ай бұрын

What type and color stain did you use?

@vindustrialguitars 3 ай бұрын

I used a dye with shellac for color

@Winterfell1066 3 ай бұрын

Why poly? Looked like it had an aged nitro finish to start. Why not keep the original vibe. Don't like it.

@vindustrialguitars 3 ай бұрын

Mostly the whether,it’s been rainy and damp and I’ve heard a lot of good things about poly for touch up repairs. Next time probably opt for shellac or lacquer though. Thanks for the comment.

Another good guitar was destroyed by a pickup.

@John-wr6yo 3 ай бұрын

I can do with out the antiquing of the finish. Who would drill in to the lower bout of the instrument without a pilot hole bitt and proper end pin reaming tool. Duh.... now if this is the best guitar you have ever heard . Tell me why we do not get to hear it. So this video is really all about the installation of the pick up.

@vindustrialguitars 3 ай бұрын

I thought about playing it but left handed guitar 😜 you’re right I should’ve strummed a few chords or something. My bad

@markstaggs7342 3 ай бұрын

There is no such thing as a handmade guitar,Why do people fall for this nonsense,Once and for all no such thing as a guitar made by hand it's the biggest hoax and money making scheme in the world.

@ManchurianCounterweight 3 ай бұрын

Man, Atkins guitars are so expensive and amazing to play and hear, but wow, all he had to do was increase the size of the endpin hole just a tiny bit, and that was what he did? Just wow. I don't even know how that damage would happen.

Me either.idk shit happens I guess lol
