The 1996 Gibson Chet Atkins Tennessean is a unique and versatile guitar, blending classic Gibson craftsmanship with Chet Atkins’ signature style. Designed as a semi-hollow instrument with a center block, the Tennessean offers a warm, resonant tone with excellent feedback resistance—perfect for country, jazz, and rockabilly styles. The dual humbuckers deliver a rich, articulate sound with plenty of clarity and sustain. Featuring a comfortable neck profile and smooth playability, this model stays true to the high standards set by both Gibson and Atkins. A distinctive and somewhat rare model, the Tennessean remains a great choice for players seeking vintage tone with modern reliability. This example is in excellent condition with only minor signs of wear throughout and includes the original hardshell case.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
