Henkes & Blazer / Atlanta Style 18 / Sunburst Adirondack Red Spruce / Guitar

Atlanta Style 18, sunburst Adirondack red spruce top, bar frets

Atlanta

The 12-fret Dreadnought of the early ‘30s was the predecessor of the later and more modern 14-fret Dreadnought.

In addition to the 12-fret neck it features some of the typical old-style construction details like a slotted headstock, a wide 1-7/8” neck with slightly V-shaped profile and a 19-fret fingerboard.


Due to the combination of the shorter neck with the longer body, different soundhole position, bracing and bridge position its sound is very balanced, making the Atlanta an ideal instrument for both fingerpicking and flatpicking.


The authentic high scalloped X-bracing is also responsible for the enormous punch and volume. It is also available with solid headstock and narrower neck.
