About this product
Product Information
The Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman electric guitar is more than just a quality musical instrument; it is a piece of art that you will be proud to add to your collection of gear. Inspired by one of the most iconic guitarists of all time, this guitar with a beautiful semi-hollow style resonates with the legendary twang and hallmark tones that defined an entire era of country music. Good electric guitars like this one, which is meant to replicate a specific style and vibe, are rare. To call this Gibson masterpiece unique would not do it justice. Its exquisite design and aesthetic appeal are only bested by its refined sound. The tones produced by this model are pitch perfect and will touch the soul of every musician. The quality of this six-string beauty begins with a laminated maple body that is available in an attractive finish of wine red. The three-piece neck is also of maple that offers a smooth playing experience. A 21-fret ebony fingerboard makes chord fingerings comfortable, and the slight cutaway of the body enables access to the highest frets. Each fret is expansive and the fretboard boasts elegant half-moon inlays. The gold hardware used on the machine heads and tuners adds a final touch of class that is very representative of Chet and his own reputation as a country gentleman.A great aspect of the semi-hollow design of these Gibson guitars is that the player can pick them up and play without an amp for a quick practice session. They produce enough volume for the musician to hear what they are playing. Of course, playing the six-string through an amp brings out its spectacular tonality from bass to treble across the entire register. The electronics feature dual humbuckers that help to replicate that classic Chet Atkins sound. Humbucking pickups are what give this model its signature punch and make it possible for the player to produce crisp, clean lead riffs. There are two master tone knobs for defining your own personal tone and two master volume controls. The volume controls allow for plenty of adjustment on the instrument. Fewer adjustments to your favorite amps are required to get the volume you desire. Three-way switching between pickups allows the guitarist to play a silky rhythm or scorching lead. Chords played on these instruments are exceptionally resonant and smooth. The neck of this Gibson electric guitar features a Chet Atkins signature slim taper design, and the action is perfect right out of the box. This design lends itself to speed, a hallmark of the man himself. The tune-o-matic bridge used on these guitars is especially beneficial in producing lengthy sustain and vibrato, and the specially-designed Bigsby tailpiece helps to add more tonality and warmth. The nut is made of durable plastic. The guitar uses six strings and accommodates various string gauges depending on your personal preference. Each guitar is carefully crafted in the United States and upholds the reputation of the Gibson brand. This is an excellent vintage-style guitar from a trusted source.Product Identifiers

Amazing feel at the fretboard, and the best sounding guitar I've owned. The only reservation would be the floating bridge to heavy dig players
