TENNESSEAN /COUNTRY GENTLEMAN

Legendary guitarist Chet Atkins brought
his considerable talent as an instrument
designer to Gibson in the 1980s, and he
continued to refine and perfect the semihollowbody electric guitar. From the
Country Gentlemans sustaining center
block and special-design humbucking
pickups, to the Tennesseans fast action
neck and banjo-style armrest, Gibsons
Chet Atkins models carry the personal
touches of one of the most influential
and revered guitar players of all time.
