DO NOT buy a J-45 until you've seen THIS | Atkin Guitars | The Forty Three

[@stephanematis]

You're singing brought a lot of very positive vibes out of you, and so thanks to Atkin and Klangfarbe for helping it happen.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank you.

[@vasotoe]

This video was such a treat to watch!!!! Thank you Andy! Oh! and YES! More music please!!!!

[@edhead5296]

Best sounding demo of this guitar I've heard.... perfectly mic'd up. Think I found my 43rd birthday present!

[@jamesreaves5534]

Great video. I had no idea you had such a nice clear voice. Really good singing as well as playing. God bless you and your family!! Jimmy in NC....

[@xnitrorider62x]

It was great hearing you sing while playing. I've listen a few times!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks! Was a bit nervous about posting this but I had so much fun

[@brisleeadams]

Great voice and playing, Andy, that 2nd song was very moving. Cheers from Paris!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks Brislee. I’ll get more music on the channel

[@thejeffersonlee]

Dude, that guitar sounds amazing. 👌 Only ever seen Atkin in 'cross-the-pond videos, but they are stunning. The kinds of guitars you'd want to take to sing songs around a campfire but be afraid to take for fear of something happening to it. Stray cinder. Raccoon attack. Drunk brother stumbling into you. Trees not providing adequate acoustics...

[@fretlook]

You sweeten up my evening with you singing Andy! 🥰

[@tomdameek]

What a lovely voice you have Andy and that guitar is one of the sweetest sounding I’ve heard in a long while. I reckon this would InspIre you to write more. That was brilliant 😀👍 Ps the tractor song was a big hit here on Ireland

[@Buzzel-NL]

Lovely playing and singing Andy! It sounds like a great powerful guitar. I will definitely try one when i get to a guitar store!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Try one but be careful! Picking one up got me in a lot of trouble

[@Buzzel-NL]

Hahaha, I won't have that problem i think. I am looking for a serious acoustic and there is a lot in the market. Sadly you can only spend money once.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

@@Buzzel-NL on the other hand, it’s only money…

[@carwynvan]

Andy! More singing! More original songs! You've got a great voice and my wife and I really liked hearing the songs scattered through the video 😃

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks so much. I’ll bring you more music for sure. It’s a step I’ve wanted to take for a long while.

[@achimdg6335]

@@TheGuitarGeek The perfect voice for an acoustic folk singer!

[@JaniceLalla]

I have finally caught up on videos, this is the last one and so glad I got to see it, you sounded wonderful!

[@theandymack1]

I love this video, nice to see someone else attempt to put into words the feeling of playing an Atkin! My wife just rolled her eyes overhearing me watching it and I said “SEE!! It’s not just me!!” 😂😂

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's totally true

[@KerwinmusicNL]

Didn't expect you to sing like that... Damn that's nice! Give us more of your music!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank you! Happy to do that

[@MadSteex]

I love the “inside Llewyn Davis” intro ❤ loved that film and songs

[@hilmiller5296]

Came for the gear, stayed for the original music

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I can’t claim the songs, only the performance ❤️

[@pauljenkins2501]

It's The JCB Song by Nizlopi.

[@ellisagutierrez9574]

Love it! I recently bought a Gibson inspired Epiphone J-45 and love it. Then I heard the Eastman 10SS. My ears went crazy for it! Now this one has my ears all a flutter! So is the life of a guitar geek!! Really cool! 🤩😍

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

There is no end !

[@stucarr2912]

I got me a j43 last week, awesome instrument, it's the one I'm keeping after having had 2 j45s

[@TimSamoff]

Man, you should sing more often!

[@fiveeyes2802]

Delicious singing and playing! Just lovely!

[@ewal8556]

Love the look of the one second left top shelf

[@steersteer]

Yeah, what is that?

[@musicisroundnotsquare3677]

Who knew you had such a great voice - well done.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank you!

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Dude…grabbed me at the first 3 notes. Nice singing, too.

[@mralgebro]

Amazing guitar. I have a 2010 J45 and it used to sound like this. I couldn’t play it because the action was too high. So I sanded down the saddle. Now I can play it but it doesn’t have the same tone as it used to 😢

[@danmorgan9795]

Great performance Andy! Sweet gitfiddle too!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks Dan! It’s a great song maker

[@tonybrooks476]

Fabulous.

[@tonefish3825]

Great looking guitar. I would love to see this compared to an Eastman E10SS.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I’ll see if i can make it happen

[@soofitnsexy]

lmao no comparison

[@jimmy5634]

The Eastman is warmer across the mids and doesn’t have the J45 thump on the bottom or the sparkle on the top…different voicing. Still, the Eastman sounds very, very good.

[@i3theanswer]

beautiful guitar! Wondering if you had a chance to compare this side by side with a new Banner J-45 and your thoughts between them? They're quite similar in price so it would be nice to know.

[@mojobrando]

Killer review. But for the record by measurement j45s are actually slightly bigger than dreadnaught size. The lower bout gets a lil wider and longer.

[@achimdg6335]

1943, midwar, was this still in the Banner Era of the big G? I mean, there might be something like a banner on the headstock. (the banner said something like "Only a big G is good enough")

[@thefisherman2837]

Wow I used play and sing this song to my son . Fantastic guitars

[@doegywhail728]

Nizlopi seems to float in and out of my consciousness on a regular basis.

[@barrymead8414]

Good fun review and a great sounding guitar

[@towser8]

I have the Atkin 47 , best guitar I’ve ever played

[@farangkinok]

Wow ! really nice vocals Andy, first time Id heard you sing

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank you. I really love singing so I’m happy to share that with you. I’ll be doing more

[@farangkinok]

@@TheGuitarGeek Really impressive mate, thumbs up

[@oliverk191]

I thought they were good value when I played them. They are lively and fun to play and you don't have to go searching for a "good one" like with Martin or Gibson because they are all great

[@g76moore]

Sounds so nice

[@TheMerc1950]

Dude, you have a great voice!!!!

[@briandevitt6903]

Lovely guitar, and you can carry a tune too Andy.

[@maddmatt55]

Love the guitar and the music.

[@joepvanwegberg6658]

what guitar is up there standing on the right with that floating pickup? just being curious ;)

[@PooNinja]

There can be only one. Or a few Ok there can be a bunch but only one favorite. Edits after the podcast airs or I get my Pia which ever comes first.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

How many One's can there be?

[@PooNinja]

@@TheGuitarGeek how many stars are in the sky… cause it’s that many plus one. I bet that +1 one is a PIa 🤘🏽

[@grahamaldridge]

Love it. Please tell me you took it home. :-)

[@adamfstewart81]

Holy shit you have an incredible voice

[@michaelogden5093]

Sounds nice. To expensive for me. Impressed with your singing. You use anything to help your singing?

[@TheGuitarGeek]

It’s certainly an investment. Thanks for the kind words. What do you mean by help?

[@michaelogden5093]

Do you use a pedal with pitch correction, harmony and such?

[@janetrivers7332]

Hello - Discord server link is invalid or has expired!??

[@lgx2410]

Your fro is epic man. You must be part poodle. And nice guitar!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank you! I think I’m mostly poodle

[@pakitoperu]

I can see how one can be enraptured by its tone.

[@Wekkkojeffko]

So true!!! Have 1 myself way better than the Gibson

[@simccaffrey]

yeah, it sounds great...totally balanced...favourite acoustic i've ever played was an atkins, should have bought it tbh......too much talking here though

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Couldn't agree more!

[@jreagle58]

So what's it cost?

[@Buzzel-NL]

Internet tells me 3.500 euro's

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Yes, this one is 3.5K it is a lot of money but it’s not a thing to look at. It’s a tool that helps bring out the best of ones creative side

[@PaulCooksStuff]

I'm not sure, I can't tell? 🤔 Did he like it? 😜

[@pawlowski6132]

If Howard Stern and Pat Metheny had a baby...

[@purplerocket666]

make more music, pleeeeeeaaase

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Will do!

[@Mamo878]

$4350 Yikes

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Yes but what an instrument

[@markhill9275]

Ouch, there is NO way i could justify that! For $1500 odd i can get an Eastman SS either 20 or 10, haven't made my mind up which yet, but they are very close to the J45, and a LOT less money. No way these prices can be justified under that sort of scrutiny.

Just waiting for my parents to die so I can afford to buy one with the will money.
