Gibson / Chet Atkins Tennessean / 1996 / Orange / Guitar

The Gibson Chet Atkins Tennessean was designed with Chet’s input, and as such this guitar is a fingerpicker’s delight. It will also appeal to anyone looking for a quality guitar that can cover many different genres - Rock, blues or jazz, this guitar would be an excellent choice. The single cutaway, semi hollow body is made of laminated maple. It also features a Chromyte center block for added sustain and resistance to feedback. The 25.5 inch scale maple neck features a rosewood fingerboard with offset dot inlays. 1.75 inch width nut for comfortable fingerpicking. 490T and 492R (a special humbucker just for the Chet series) Alnico magnet humbuckers deliver smooth, warm tone. A Stopbar tailpiece, Tuneomatic bridge and Kluson style tuners keep it rock solid. Other cool features include a factory arm rest and vintage style pickguard. The guitar is finished in the classic 'Gretsch' orange and is a wonderful tribute to one of the best guitar players out there. After Chet’s death, his family moved back to Gretsch and all of the Gibson models were discontinued, making these guitars very desirable. This Tennessean plays well and has a comfortable neck - the wider nut makes fingerpicking easier. The pickups and electronics sound good and deliver a smooth, warm tone not unlike Chet’s later recordings. The guitar is in all original condition with no cracks or repairs, just light playwear and some lacquer checking on the headstock. It comes in it's original Gibson embossed hard case.

Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.

I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.

You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.

I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.

If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.

I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
