5lbs 5oz.

One of only 32 made! Includes case and candy. Excellent condition for its age. Some light scratches here and there, along with some light rash and small dings. See all pics. Also notice the picture of the wiring cavity and see the number 5, handwritten on the edge. 

Perhaps one of the rarer Gibson guitars in general, this is a Chet Atkins CEC “Fleur de Lis” model. As I understand it, Mr. Atkins became interested in guitars made by Kirk Sand at one point, but his contractual obligation to Gibson forbade it. Instead, Mike Voltz designed this guitar for Gibson based on a Sand design, which is indeed familiar. It is made from a single piece of mahogany that is carved and hollowed out, with a classically-braced top. This is not only a very rare guitar, it’s a very nice instrument that feels worthy to meet the needs of a top guitar player like Chet Atkins.
