The Gibson Chet Atkins Tennessean is a relatively uncommon semi-hollow electric built in Gibson's Nashville factory during the 1990s. Although inspired by the classic Gretsch Tennessean, it is fundamentally a Gibson design, sharing more construction features with an ES-335 than with a traditional Gretsch.
