1984 Gibson Chet Atkins CE Solidbody - Nylon | Preowned

The 1984 Gibson Chet Atkins CE is a unique instrument that bridges the gap between classical warmth and electric guitar practicality, making it a favorite among performing musicians. Designed in collaboration with the legendary Chet Atkins, this solid-body nylon-string guitar delivers rich, natural acoustic character while virtually eliminating the feedback issues commonly associated with traditional acoustic-electric instruments. Its comfortable narrow neck provides an inviting playing experience for electric and steel-string players alike, while the onboard piezo pickup system faithfully captures the expressive dynamics and articulation of nylon strings. Finished in classic Black, the Chet Atkins CE offers timeless Gibson craftsmanship, exceptional stage performance, and a distinctive voice that continues to make it one of the most sought-after nylon-string electrics of its era.
