The Gibson ES-175 Single and Double pickup models went on to become a workhorse guitar, used on countless stages, studios and performances.

The SJ-N appeared in 1942, became the Country Western in 1955, was again renamed the SJ-N in 1960, and finally dubbed the SJ Country Western in 1962. The model was discontinued in 1977. The Gibson Country Western model, like the SJ-N, pairs a Sitka Spruce top with Mahogany for the sides, back, body blocks and neck.

The Gibson Chet Atkins Tennessean is a single cutaway, thinline archtop electric, with a solid center block to deter feedback. This was a feature that Chet had long sought from Gretsch, and the closest they would come to that was the late 1950’s Trestle bracing. In structure, this model has many similarities to Gibson ES thinline semi-hollows.
