rar Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi, Jerry! Does Gibson still manufacture this model? No. Production basically stopped in 1995' date=' though a few were built in Bozeman about five years ago. I suspect you could special order one that didn't say "Chet Atkins" on it today, but it wouldn't come cheap. Is this guitar with nylon strings? Yes. How much is this guitar cost (average)? That depends on excactly which model you're asking about -- there were significant design changes over the years. The asking price for "baseline" CEs seems to be around $1200, but I don't know if they're selling at that price. Nicer custom shop models are three times that. The Bozeman-built models had an MSRP of around $4200, so a used one in good condition might fetch $2000 -- if there are any out there. -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
