I have the same model the J-43 Black Pearl (Aged) bought from the wonderful Guitar Village, Farnham in Surrey England. (Best guitar shop in the U.K. in my opinion). It has amazing resonance, wonderful playability and looks exquisite. it's a dream guitar and one of the best I have ever played.
I have an om essential. It’s a great guitar for fingerstyle. I picked it in the shop over martin, Collings and Santa Cruz (which I was initially willing to buy). I didn’t even know Atkins guitars at that time, but I was completely blown by how good the OM essential sounded and played. Loud, responsive to light touch, incredible sustain. Perfect for fingerstyle. The black pearl is really sweet. I wish I could give it a try.

These guitars are stunning! Got the chance to hold some in my hands on the Guitar Summit!
Atkins are great and they are better than ever !
I have a Fender acoustic. Not great, not terrible. Saving up though for something like this!
I have a 47 relic , best thing I’ve ever played
