Omschrijving

hier wel een zeer mooie en originele Gibson Chet Atkins CEC,de CEC staat voor Classic electric Cutaway,deze is uit het 1e productie jaar 1982,een klassieker dus,32 jaar oud en in super conditie,geen beschadigingen-geen buckle rash op de achterkant-frets 100%-alleen de koper hardware is natuurlijk wat dof en versleten,maar gewoon helemaal normaal voor een gitar deze leeftijd,ingebouwde preamp werkt zeer goed,mooi klassieke sounds versterkt zonder hinderlijke feedback,Mark Knopler gebruikte deze gitaar tijdens de Love over Gold Tour te zien op de live Dvd ook.
gitaar komt inklusief origineel case,een echte collector die alleen nog maar in prijs stijgen,de 1e jaars productie modellen schijn customshops te zijn,maar kan dir niet beamen.

extra infoSpecs
The body is not all solid mahagony but features sound chambers to reduce weight and to make the sound more acoustic. The top is solid spruce or cedar. The neck is mahagony with a neck joint location at the 12th fret – like a classical guitar. The scale is 25 1/2″, the fingerboard and the bridge are from ebony.

The pickup system consists of six individual piezos that are installed under the bridge. The pickup signal is preamplified in the control cavity (that consequently houses a 9V battery), a volume control and the (active) tone control is located on the rim of the guitar (later models have a bass and treble control). A really useful feature are six trim pots inside the control cavity that allow to adjust the volume for each string individually so that you can equalize volume differences easily.

This guitar model was developed by Chet Atkins who approached Gibson with his prototype. The model appeared in Gibson’s catalogue in 1982, right at the time when Dire Straits recorded the Love over Gold album. This album features two songs – Private Investigations and the title track – on which a classical (=nylon-strung) guitar was used. Note that on the album it was NOT the Gibson Chet Atkins, however, Mark Knopfler started to play it on stage for the Love over gold tour, right after recording the album. You can hear it e.g. on the Alchemy live album where it was used not only on Private Investigations and Love over Gold but also in the outro of Romeo&Juliet. Knopfler (probably) also used it on many sessions with other artists in the early 80ies, e.g. with Phil Everly or Paul Brady
