The Team

Atkin Guitars has a highly skilled team with a wide range of expertise. The way we build guitars allows individual luthiers to concentrate on separate areas of the process. From wood selection, top and back jointing, bracing through to finish and setup.

As we’ve grown so has the team. This means that we can design and build every part of our guitars in house, enabling us to keep a close eye on the quality and consistency of each guitar as it moves down the line.

We love building guitars! We hope you love playing them!
