Gibson Chet Atkins

[KNNZ]

I like this one!
Gibson experts? Grant? etc? never seen this before! Legit? is the start price decent? (3.5k) is that a crack at the back of the neck in the last pic?
Would you need much work on it? frets, fretboard etc?

Don't know much about these sorry - but agree, looks rad! However, I suspect the headstock was badly broken...cracks extend right up the side. I'd say as a result it is $1000-$1500 over priced? But as I say, no expert.

Somehow a Chat Atkins should always be a Gretsch IMO

Looks like here that the logo was possibly re-installed as part of the repair? Bit wonky. All of the is repairable to close to invisible but will cost $. Offer $2.5K

Happy to have a look at it for you if you want, Keon. It's in my part of the world.

cheers Rob! you're a GC! not sure if she'll accommodate that though, she's not even answering my question about the crack, will see if she answers questions and allow viewing and let you know!

It's not entirely altruistic: I don't take much encouragement to have a geez at a jazzbox.
