Gibson Acoustic

1982 Gibson Chet Atkins!
Original Limited Edition Run with Original HangTag, Warranty Card, Letter from Chet, Purchase Receipt, & Case!

ITEM:
For your consideration is this vintage 1982 Gibson Chet Atkins Classic CE electric nylon guitar. This early version is from the first run produced between January-June of  '82. The serial numbers, F004 and 80902016, indicate that this particular example was made late-March. This excellent example is in very nice 100% original condition, and comes complete with ALL original paperwork and the original brown case. Certainly an instant collectable, this Chet Atkins CE is also a fantastic instrument. With sale prices commonly exceeding $1,400.00 for an average example, be quick to bid on this $800 minimum/No Reserve auction with Free Shipping, and get a great deal on this guitar.

Firstly, this guitar works perfectly, sounds great, and is in 100% all original condition. The guitar does no exhibit cracks, breaks, or repairs, and is in perfect structural condition. Aside from some oxidation of the gold-plated parts and some superficial playig wear on the top, the guitar appears to be in 9.5+ cosmetic condition. It is quite apparent that the guitar was never seriously used. The back of the body is near pristine, exhibiting no dings or dents. There are a couple of smudges and dings on the side, but it is otherwise extremely fine. The previous owner indicted that the guitar still retains the original strings as it did when originally purchased.

It will be near impossible to find a better example, so hurry up and place a bid, because the high bidder wins regardless of price!
