Iam looking now in 2011 and like the collings,which i saw at Olympia nut it was very noisy there nut hadna little time with an OM nut guitar huy from the shop owned by Mann in Notts said that buy a collingsmwoth an adarondack top amd rosewood back and sides with a dreadnaught depth and ebony bridge and pins and fretboard, bwing honest i think for mamy it would be the ultimate sound and tone, though if Atkin are that good amd less money i would lkke to hear one from Alastair.. Any thoughts, as i want a strummer that can do more if required?
