1994 Gibson Chet Atkins SST Ebony
1994 Gibson Chet Atkins SST – Ebony.
This is a "player's" guitar. It is in excellent playing condition and is a real joy to play; it is comfortable, lightweight (3.1 kg), features a superb neck, and is well set up.
The sound is excellent. It has a 42mm nut width, a slim-taper profile, and a 12-inch radius—a dream neck that, combined with the beautiful ebony fretboard, makes you want to play.
As a player's instrument, it shows numerous signs of use. The black finish, in particular, shows marks.
