I will probably regret selling this guitar, but I never play it and it makes a rather expensive wall hanging. I bought this guitar new in 1992 at the Dallas guitar show from Dave's guitar shop in Wisconsin. It has the original case. The guitar is in excellent condition. I played it some but never very much. I changed the Bigsby vibrato tail piece and the arm to a wire Chet style...the original arm is in the case. Chet signed this guitar for me at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society convention sometime in the late 90s, but I dont recall when. I have always been concerned about the signature fading or scratching off, but it never has. It has been professionally set up, but I have played it very little over the years. It is the second guitar from the right. I have added more pictures. I took the fact that guitar was signed by Chet off of the subject line, as I am not really promoting it that way and Chet signed so many things that it doesnt add value to the guitar, just sentimental value as he is my guitar hero. I can guarantee it is authentic as I was standing next to Chet when he signed it with a sharpie. He commented that it was a "pretty one". I was in such awe, that I just said yes sir. It is hard to take a picture of the actual signature, but I tried. I should add that there is no fret wear. Thanks for looking and feel free to email me with questions. I will take pay pal and ship to lower 48...buyer pays shipping.

| That's quite a line up of nice guitars. I think I can identify them, but why don't you do it. I know the Country Gentleman is second from the right. I'm curious about the first one on the left. Gibson with a Johnny Smith PU? A see a Heritage too. |

Thanks for the inquiry.
The one on the left is a 1967 Gibson Super 400-- my prize guitar 
Next is a Heritage Super Eagle_Heritages equivalent of the Super 400-great guitar
The 1992 Gibson CG
Last is a 1976 Ibanez L5 copy-I think ? It is a great playing and sounding guitar anyway. |

Here are some better pictures I took today outside since the sun was shining ! Hope it gives you a better idea of the beauty of this guitar. I should say that there are no scratches on this guitar, anything that appears as a scratch is a reflection. There would probably be small scratches on the pick guard and other places but no significant ones that I could isolate and take a picture of. Thanks again for looking.

| If anyone is interested in this guitar, we could set up a skype thingy so that you could see and hear the guitar, ask questions, etc. if that would help. Not as good as in person, of course, but closer. Thanks. |
