On Atkins' official website, colleague and friend, Paul Yendell discussed one of the more unique pieces of gear in Chet's guitar arsenal which Chet called, "The Peaver".
From the official FAQ:
‘The Peaver’ was a guitar I built for Chet to record with. I had made myself one and he liked it. He had a Peavey T-60 so I took the body and put a wide type Strat neck on it. I then put 2 EMG pickups in it. He used it quite a bit. “ Sunrise” was one tune, “Laughing at Life” was another. It wasn't very pretty as guitars go, but sounded great.
