❌ SOLD ❌ Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman Translucent Red, 2001

On March 26, 2018 /

The Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman was built from 1986 to 2005, but Gibson’s association with Chet Atkins began in 1981 with the CEC Cutaway Electric Classical. While most of the Chet Atkins Country Gentleman guitars were made by Gretsch, that was impossible after 1981 when Gretsch temporarily folded.
