Item Description

Gibson Custom Shop 1982 Chet Atkins CE 1982 (no2512051)

Developed in collaboration with Chet Atkins, this electric guitar features a solid body and built-in piezo pickups, dramatically improving its anti-feedback characteristics.This groundbreaking model made it possible to incorporate gut guitars, which had previously been difficult to incorporate into band ensembles. While many other companies released similar models with a similar concept in the '90s, this model dominated the market.Immediately after its release, many professional musicians incorporated it into their live performances, making it a classic that is especially well-known among early Yngwie fans.The preamp, featuring a specially developed 100% analog circuit, produces a warm, deep, and musical tone. Digital modeling is the norm for modern electric acoustic guitars, so this pure analog sound feels both nostalgic and fresh. lol

The eight-digit serial number engraved in the control cavity, separate from the headstock serial number, is extremely blurry, but the first five digits are legible, confirming the model's 1982 date.

While a "CEC" model with a classical guitar neck width exceeding 50mm was also available, this model is the "CE" version with a nut width of approximately 46mm, making it a more suitable choice for electric guitarists.

Although there is considerable cosmetic damage, such as scratches and dents consistent with its age, the neck is in excellent condition thanks to the nylon-string model, which minimizes neck stress.The white cover on the 6th-string end of the piezo pickup is missing, but this does not affect sound quality.
I tried to lift up part of the protective film on the top of the body, but it was not very adhesive, so I think you should be able to remove it yourself easily.It comes with the original serial number tag and original hardshell case (with replaced handle), and the fact that it's an "early model" that looks and sounds different from later models will make it a great value for those who remember that time.
