Atlas
Atlas is our interpretation of a guitar design that was built in Japan, at the Matsumoku factory, starting in the late 60s. They were sold under dozens of brand names, including Aria (1802T) and Epiphone (ET-270). We’ve changed it from the original 24.75” scale, to 25”, like the old American Danelectro guitars, and some of the other old catalog guitars of that era. This is a slightly smaller offset, than the J types, with room for two small to medium sized pickups.
