You should get a tv show! Love watching these episodes

[@Atkinguitarcompany]

Prime time here we come 🎥 - we prefer making guitars 😉

[@101oldstuff]

Great series. Really enjoying them.

[@josepheveson6187]

If I could build guitars like this I’d keep them all and be out of business on 3 months

Thanks, there a very distinctive feature and one we love

[@Wholelotarosie]

Hello Alister,
nice of you to give us an insight into your workshop. Really great videos!!!
Regarding your question at minute 09:34 min (ruclips.net/video/Q8-_fcZUq0g/видео.html ) . I'm not sure, but I think it could be CORK OAK. At least my son Nick (a carpenter) is of the same opinion.
Maybe this will help you!
Best regards from Germany!
Peter

Leonard Cohen in the photo. Can you put the T shirt inside the D37 and send both. Thank you

[@TheClagga96]

Really enjoying the content on your channel here! Would love to come and visit! Also could I ask what the link is with Casino Royale?

[@Atkinguitarcompany]

Hey, sorry for the slow response…
Chris Cornell used a D37 on the soundtrack for the film 🎥 😎

[@TheClagga96]

@@Atkinguitarcompany Nice one 👍

[@Atkinguitarcompany]

Hey Clagga - we edited our reply as I missed the essence of your question 😉

[@crimp_and_straighteners]

Leonard Cohen hugging JM?

[@ricjoorg]

What's the nut width on Alistair's D37 (which looks gorgeous, btw)? 1 3/4"?

[@Atkinguitarcompany]

Hi Ric… sorry we didn’t catch your comment sooner. Our D37’s have a 1 11/16 (43mm) nut width as standard. Glad you like it!

[@DLT1964]

Rude and arrogant behaviour by Madge. Unprofessional and unacceptable.
