In a YouTube video titled "Buckethead 4K (LIVE) at The Caverns - Night 1 (2025)," Buckethead is seen using a Gibson Chet Atkins CE guitar at the timestamp 57:50. This particular model, a classical nylon-string guitar, was instrumental in shaping his acoustic sound during the late 1990s and early 2000s. He utilized the Gibson Chet Atkins CE to record notable albums such as "Colma" (1998) and "Electric Tears" (2002). The guitar's distinctive, feedback-free tone, as heard in the iconic track "Big Sur Moon," allowed Buckethead to achieve his signature hypnotic and cascading rhythms when used alongside a delay pedal. The source of this information is a video by Buckethead Rocks, filmed at The Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee, and is set to be featured in PBS's "The Caverns Sessions" program.
