INTRODUCING | ATKIN GUITARS
English Acoustics With Soul
Atkin Guitars' aim is simple: build the best.
Founded in Canterbury, England, in 1995, Atkin Guitars uses a combination of traditional techniques and a little modern technology to handcraft around 350 guitars a year, imbued with the indefinable qualities that delight, surprise, and inspire us even after decades as players.
Founder Alister Atkin and his team of six seek to bring out the instrument's very soul in each Atkin model, focusing on what makes an acoustic what it is and what keeps it from being everything that it can be.
As it turns out, what's true for Atkin is also true for most things: Feel is foremost. Filigree is frivolous. Personality is paramount, and most importantly, what's best is always best.

Dating back to 1999, Bad Cat has brought in talent from all corners of the amp world, most notably Matchless founder Mark Sampson. Their dedication to building Class A amplifiers with a British-inspired growl has drawn praise and use from players as varied as John Rzeznik, Nick Johnston, and Bonnie Raitt. That's why we're excited to team up with Bad Cat on our newest CME Exclusive amplifiers: the Bad Cat Mod Shop Hot Cat 50 1x12" Combo Amp and Amp Head in Black Levant. We started with the Hot Cat 50, added Marshall-inspired visual touches and a gold chassis, then built in a vintage/modern gain switch and EC Collins Pinstripe Grill Cloth for a tone-shaping experience you can't find anywhere else.
