Gibson Chet Atkins CE

Unknown brand · classical guitar

The Gibson Chet Atkins CE solves the nylon-string feedback problem by removing the soundbox: the body is solid mahogany with small chambers rather than a hollow resonating cavity, and the sound comes from an under-saddle transducer instead of a microphone. It plays like an electric with a nylon-string neck width, and can be run at stage volume where a real classical guitar would howl.
