Atkin OM37 - Baked Adirondack Spruce & Indian Rosewood

The Atkin OM37—crafted with a torrefied Adirondack Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides—is a modern heir to the golden age of acoustic guitar design. It’s a guitar that immediately commands attention, not with volume alone, but with the depth, richness, and nuance that only come from masterful construction and premium tonewoods. The Baked Adirondack Spruce top, aged to perfection, offers a lively, open response with incredible headroom and articulation, while the Indian Rosewood body adds lush overtones, crisp lows, and crystalline highs. Together, they form a tonal powerhouse that’s equally at home under a flatpick or the lightest touch of fingerstyle.

Alister Atkin’s influence in the boutique guitar world is undeniable—he has redefined what it means to build a vintage-inspired instrument in the modern era. Revered for his uncompromising attention to detail and obsessive dedication to tone, Atkin has built a reputation among professionals and purists alike. The OM37 showcases his philosophy perfectly: a guitar that looks, feels, and sounds like it’s been played for decades, but with flawless modern playability. Pre-war scalloped bracing brings the top to life, while the age-toned relic nitro finish gives it that broken-in glow and effortless vibe. Herringbone purfling, grained ivoroid binding, and a zipper-style backstrip elevate the visual aesthetics, complemented by an East Indian Rosewood headstock overlay and the signature Atkin decal. Nickel Gotoh tuners, an ebony fretboard and bridge, and mother of pearl inlays all contribute to the guitar’s elegant, road-ready build. At 4 lb 4 oz, the OM37 is light in the hands and big in voice—a timeless instrument from one of the finest builders in the game.
