The Atkin D37 'Torrefied Sitka / East Indian Rosewood' is a stunning tribute to the classic pre-war dreadnoughts of the 1930s, designed with modern craftsmanship while embracing the tonal qualities of vintage steel-string guitars. Handcrafted in Canterbury, England, Atkin Guitars brings together traditional techniques and cutting-edge innovation to produce a guitar that delivers an unmatched playing experience. The D37 features a torrefied Sitka spruce top, which enhances the instrument’s warmth and resonance, and East Indian rosewood for the back and sides, known for its deep bass and clear highs.
As one of the most popular steel-string guitar shapes of all time, the dreadnought body is renowned for its robust and full sound, making it the ideal choice for musicians who want a guitar that can stand out in any musical setting. The Atkin D37 features scalloped bracing, a deep body, and a super-thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, resulting in a guitar that is surprisingly open and full-sounding, with powerful low-end projection and exceptional clarity.
This guitar offers admirable warmth, power, responsiveness, and clarity—characteristics that are a hallmark of vintage Martin 28-style dreadnoughts. Whether performing live, recording in the studio, or simply enjoying a personal playing session, the Atkin D37 delivers a sound that stands out among its peers. For guitarists seeking a guitar that delivers unparalleled tonal richness, this dreadnought is one of the best values on the market today.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
