Podcast 475: Alister Atkin (Atkin Guitars)

Podcast 475: Alister Atkin (Atkin Guitars)

On this week's podcast, we talk to Alister Atkin, founder of Atkin Guitars.

Alister and his growing team are building vintage-inspired flattop acoustics in Canterbury, England. During our chat, we talk about the company's history, its ongoing growth, the aged finish that Atkin instruments are known for, how they've penetrated the US market, and even the company's choice to start making electric instruments.

We think you'll love getting to know Alister and his story.
