Gibson / CEC Chet Atkins Nylon Spruce & Mahogany Crossover / 1991 / Guitar
Gibson CEC Chet Atkins Nylon (1991) Spruce & Mahogany crossover, case, NM
This is a Gibson Chet Atkins CEC. The CE stands for classical electric, a solid-body guitar with nylon strings and a piezo pickup, the other 'C' stands for 'conventional' neck width of 51mm (2″)at the nut,. This guitar model was developed by Chet Atkins who approached Gibson with a prototype. The model appeared in Gibson’s catalogue in 1982,The body is not all solid mahogany but features sound chambers to reduce weight and to make the sound more acoustic. The top is made of solid spruce. with a mahogany neck that joins at the 12th fret like a classical guitar. 650mm (25 1/2″) with ebony fingerboard and rosewood bridge, all typical leaning back to the classical spanish guitar. The pickup system consists of six individual piezos that are installed under the bridge. The pickup signal is preamplified in the control cavity, that also houses a 9V battery, the controls are located on the rim of the guitar. A really useful feature are six trim pots inside the control cavity that allow to adjust the volume for each string individually. The guitar here i a CEC with the wider nut, and it can be played even at high volume without the risk of feedback. This gutar is in Near Mint condition and comes with the orignal case... a rare find in such nice condition.

The Fellowship Of Acoustics, Netherlands
ABOUT US
I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
