GibsonChetAtkinsCountryGentlemanSunriseOrange1991

Gibson's Chet Atkins Country Gentleman was produced from around 1986 to the mid-2000s. After Mr. Chet ended his endorsement contract with Gretsch, he signed a contract with Gibson and was born after the Elegat ChetAtkinsCE.This is the electric model that was announced next.

The neck has a rounded profile and a maple-ebony fingerboard, finished in a pink-red color with impressive position marks that resemble Gretsch's thumbnail inlays.
It is said that the aim was to create a clear difference in appearance from the Gretsch by using this inlay made of red material.

The semi-hollow 17-inch body, dyed in a bright sunrise orange color and featuring F-holes and Venetian cutaways, has an impression similar to the 335, and the top, back, and sides are made of tasteful heathered flame maple. It is made up of.
The bridge is a combination of ABR-1 and Bigsby on a rosewood base, and the PU is equipped with 492R on the front and 490T on the rear, outputting a clear and warm sound with low output.

The controls are a 3-way pickup selector, 2 volumes, a master tone, and a master volume on the horn section on the 1st string side, and this area also has a positional relationship that completely follows Gretsch.

Chet Atkins is engraved on the truss rod cover, and the Schaller peg with the Gibson stamp is also a unique specification that allows you to quickly turn the peg when changing strings by pulling out the metal fittings on the side.

It's a special model that you wouldn't believe was made by Gibson, but the great thing about it is that it has a distinctly Gibson feel.
An interesting model where you can feel the dedication that is unique to the legend Chet Atkins.
It is in excellent playing condition and is ready for immediate use.
The pickguard and armrest are missing.
