The Atkin J43 pays homage to the ‘Banner’ era slope shoulder Jumbos that shipped from Kalamazoo during the WWII era. With a lightly built torrefied Sitka spruce top and mahogany body, 24-7/8” short scale neck, and small rectangle bridge, “The Forty Three” is responsive, woody, and open, with a low-end rumble, warm mids, and round trebles. It’s touch-sensitive and responds well to a lighter touch, but can be hit hard and returns the effort with a plenty of headroom and volume.

The J-43 features a sunburst top, firestripe pickguard, simple appointments, bone nut and saddle, and strip-style tuners. The lacquer finish has a gently aged look with gentle craze lines throughout.

The neck has a round, medium-deep C carve with a 1st fret depth of .870” and a nut width of 1-11/16. Bridge pin spacing is 2-3/16”.

With deluxe hardshell case.
