Nechville's Description:
Take the weight of the world off your shoulders. The Atlas is ultra-light (around six pounds), sounds great and is a joy to play. Its design was a Nechville-Sagmoen collaboration and echoes the Ashborn Banjos of 1860. Modern Nechville innovations make the Atlas the most advanced traditional openback to date.
