Gibson Chet Atkins CE 1994
Our users rate Reverb
Up for sale is a beautiful 1994 Gibson Chet Atkins CE in a classic Natural finish. While the 'CEC' was built for the classical purist, the CE was designed specifically for the electric player, featuring a slimmer nut width that allows for easy transitions from a Les Paul or 335 to nylon strings.
This 1994 "Good Wood" era model is a masterclass in hybrid design, offering the warmth of a nylon-string with the playability and feedback-resistance of a solid-body electric.
Key Specifications:
- Year: 1994 (Nashville Plant, USA)
- Model: CE (Cutaway Electric)
- Finish: Natural Gloss
- Top: Solid Spruce
- Body: Chambered Mahogany (for weight relief and acoustic resonance)
- Neck: Mahogany with Ebony Fretboard
- Nut Width: 1.75" (Slimmer "Crossover" profile – perfect for electric players)
- Electronics: Original Gibson piezo system with master volume and tone controls
Condition & Playability:
- Condition: Excellent for a 30-year-old instrument. Shows very light signs of use consistent with age, but has been meticulously maintained.
- Frets: Plenty of life left; smooth, polished, and ready to play.
- Sound: Pure, crystalline nylon tones without the feedback issues of a traditional hollow classical guitar.
- Case: Comes with the original Gibson brown hardshell case with the iconic pink shroud/lining.
- Seller’s Note: The 1994 models are known for their exceptional build quality. This guitar is a "plug-and-play" workhorse that sounds just as good through a PA as it does through a high-end acoustic amp. It is getting harder to find the CE models in this condition for under £2k
