Default Atkin LG47 demo - Amazing Grace

I threatened to do a demo of my Atkin Forty Seven (LG47) a while ago. I know we've seen this tune a few times but hopefully there's a reason for that and I wanted to keep it simple.

Apogee mic straight into iPhone, no processing at all.
Strings are Elixir PB 12s, they are 2 months old and pretty shot!

Sounds wonderful and lovely playing!

How ya getting on with the skinny neck? I'm struggling with it on my J43 but it's sounds so good!

Hi, thanks. Yes I would prefer a 1.75" nut, but the neck plays so well I get on fine with it. I do however find the string spacing a bit tighter for the picking hand, but again it's not really a problem.

I won't disagree though, wider string spacing would make it the perfect guitar, but I've barely played my 000-18 in the two months I've owned it.
