Hi Andrew,

Phil just mentioned you're going to pop over this afternoon. Just 
wanted to let you know we also know of some more pre-loved guitars 
arriving early next week which may be something that interests you. 
Including a 2021 Atkin 000-37, 2020 Atkin essential OM and 2017 Martin 
00-18.

Kind Regards,
Harriet
