Description

The 1998 Gibson Chet Atkins CE is a versatile classical guitar that bridges the gap between traditional nylon-string acoustics and modern amplified performance. Designed in collaboration with the legendary Chet Atkins, this instrument was crafted to deliver both rich, warm acoustic tones and the ability to seamlessly integrate into amplified settings. Its chambered mahogany body provides a resonant sound, while the Fishman piezo pickup system ensures faithful reproduction of acoustic nuances when plugged in.

This guitar is particularly suited for musicians who require the subtlety of a classical guitar with the added benefit of amplified sound capability. Whether you're performing on stage or recording in a studio, the Chet Atkins CE offers a unique blend of classical and contemporary features that make it stand out. Its rosewood fingerboard and bridge contribute to a smooth playing experience, and the neck is engineered for comfort, making it an excellent choice for extended playing sessions.

Key Features:

  • Collaboration with Chet Atkins for a unique design
  • Chambered mahogany body for enhanced resonance
  • Fishman piezo pickup system for natural amplified sound
  • Rosewood fingerboard and bridge for smooth playability
  • Comfortable neck profile for extended playing comfort
