Description

Step into the world of exquisite tonal craftsmanship with the Gibson Chet Atkins Super 4000, an electric hollowbody guitar that is as much a work of art as it is an instrument. This rare gem, part of an ultra-limited series, was conceived with input from the legendary Chet Atkins himself, making it a must-have for collectors and serious musicians alike.

The Super 4000 features a solid spruce top paired with heavily figured maple back and rims, offering a rich, resonant sound that is both lush and articulate. The internal X-bracing is meticulously designed to minimize feedback, ensuring clarity even at higher volumes. A standout feature is its floating "Chet Atkins" humbucker, which delivers a full, crisp tone, perfect for jazz and blues. The unique sliding volume control and selector switch, discreetly positioned under the pickguard, allow for seamless tonal adjustments.

Adding to its allure, the guitar sports a figured maple and walnut neck with a striking black stinger, providing both aesthetic appeal and smooth playability. The built-in craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the six-finger tailpiece to the squared-off end of the fretboard—each element tailored to elevate your playing experience.

Whether you're performing on stage or recording in a studio, the Super 4000 is engineered to inspire, offering a harmonic richness that resonates with soulful depth.

  • Solid spruce top with heavily figured maple back and rims
  • Floating "Chet Atkins" humbucker with sliding volume control
  • Internal X-bracing for reduced feedback
  • Figured maple/walnut neck with black stinger
  • Unique six-finger tailpiece
