Description

Highly addictive guitar, you probably won’t be able to put it down. Like a luxurious old Cadillac, this guitar oozes big, rounded, ostentatious goodness. It feels heavy on your knee, (it’s bigger and heavier than the equivalent Gibson 335) yet it’s beautifully balanced. The neck is a slightly flattened C profile. It’s powerful like a big block V8 but you have a smooth knurled metal master volume control to tame it. This guitar is all about the American Dream – oh and it plays like a dream too.

Everything’s original, even the case and that oh so desirable signature Chet Atkins pickguard. There’s been some corrosion to the tuner buttons, which you feel when tuning, but no metal corrosion anywhere else. Lovely finish crackles all over, especially on the headstock, lend this guitar a serious dignified elder statesman air.
