Mysterious guitar


podel

Recommended Posts

Hello and sorry for my very bad english, i'm french...

 

A friend has discovered this mysterious guitar, but we didn't found any information about it.

It's an hollow-body epiphone, used by Chet Atkins (we can see him with the same guitar in the last picture, a cover of a french magazine in 1989), but we haven't seen this guitar elsewhere on the internet...

 

 

Could someone help me ?

 

Thanks a lot

It's an Epiphone Chet Atkins model from the late 80s/early 90s that was sold exclusively in Japan. I believe they were made by Terada starting about 1988. They're quite rare outside of Japan but it's difficult to put a "value" on it. "Rare" doesn't always equate to "valuable" but the guitars made by Terada are usually very high in quality and I'm certain that it's a very nice guitar.

Thank you very much Larens for this quick and absolutely perfect answer.

 

You're right, it's a very nice guitar that my friend does not sell, he's really happy to have these information about this guitar he loves.

 

Thanks a lot Larens !
