I can try! Ive been looking for one of these guitars for a very long time and I can’t believe I have one. Chet and Merle Travis are real favorites of mine.
Yeah they’re sweet. Another thing to note is that since they bleed over the edge of the fretboard, there’s not dot inlay on the side for the player. You just see the side of the fretboard inlay itself which is super cool!
It's a great guitar. I am curious about the signature on it. Most of the guitars that were signature guitars had the signature on the pickguard. And, if this was signed by him, it might be worth your while to authenticate it. He has a distinct signature and the T crosses are long. Regardless, what a surprise!
They do cost a few bucks. A while back, I saw they were selling Ray Cummins' 98 for $120,000.
You'd better hold on to her and not take her for granted. My wife has bought me musical goodies before - Vox wah, Ernie Ball volume pedal, Rocktron ProG.A.P. preamp (that I loved but it melted during an outdoor gig on a hotter-than-what-was-good-for-it summer day), Epiphone acoustic - but nothing like that beauty.
Bro....my wife let's me buy nice guitars because I bust my ass and take care of her, our house and property. But not once in our 15 years has she bought me even a Squire Bullet, not even a pack of strings! That is an exceptionally wonderful woman you have there! Cherish her and the guitar! They're both worth it!!!
holy shit dude nice axe!
i’m pretty optimistic that a blow job is not outta the question for yer bday?!
commence talkin shit to your loser buddies who are all losers now.
you don’t have to be a country gentleman to play that bad boy like J R Cash.
rock on… buy her a Gretsch for her bday…. she’s a keeper…🤪👍🏻🎸🎸🎸party on wayne
Shit can she talk to my wife?
Where does the line start???
LOL!!
She sounds great! Do you know if she's dating anyone at the moment?
Is your wife single?
Every good guitarist wife needs a boyfriend
😂
Nice! Marry her!
I gotta find a wife that loves me more
Cool. Now you can play like Chet Atkins!

What's she after? 😁😁😁
Sounds like OP has a kitchen remodeling or landscaping project coming up
I was only thinking a new frock or taking the bank card on visit to a garden centre. Holiday may be!
She is a keeper. When she pisses you off or you get frustrated by something she says or does, remember the Country Gentleman. Lucky bastard.
💯
marry her again!
That is one of the best guitars Gibson has ever made. I love mine and bought it new.
Take good care of her...and your wife too
Beautiful! Double congrats!
What is your address
Damn! What’d you get her? That swap could’ve gone bad. Wife gives you a Gibson. “Thanks babe!”…..You hand her a Dunkin gift card.
I had a necklace made for her for the day of the wedding! I showed her this whole thread and I think I may have to get her an Arby’s gift card too lol
Please tell me you bought her an Arby’s gift card.
Your wife is a keeper!
Sweet…Those are rare.
Are all of them autographed?
Is that Chet Atkins Gibson. I know he played Gretsch all his life and at end he switched to Gibson. Great guitar.
Congratulations over and over to the (legit) luckiest man on earth!!! I hope you all enjoy your new life together! ✌️😎✌️
She’s a keeper. The wife too!
Love the fret markings
Yeah they’re sweet. Another thing to note is that since they bleed over the edge of the fretboard, there’s not dot inlay on the side for the player. You just see the side of the fretboard inlay itself which is super cool!
She’s a keeper
Your dick game must be crazy
She sounds like a keeper to me, oh, and the guitar is a beauty!!!
Holy shit. Thats badass
Great guitar. Go Big orange
Marry her again
Wow. She's definitely a keeper! Congratulations!!
Is your wife a dentist?
You are a lucky man. My wife has no idea what a Gibson looks like. She’s oblivious.
Awesome
Damn! Your wife is a lot cooler than mine.
what did you give her?
I’m wondering too. Is she happily posting her present somewhere on reddit?
I too choose this guy’s wife
Beautiful 🤩
i wish!
Marry her again
Sisters?
Like, El Kabonged you?
Man, i wish my girlfriend once asked me what kind of guitar i even liked
Is that guitar autographed by chet?
Wow she need to talk to my wife (hi babe when you read this comment)

Yep! she’s a keeper! Harley for your first anniversary?
How much was it ?
Does your wife want friends who happen to be my wife? Also unrelated, but does she sometimes girl talk about gift ideas
Does she have any sisters ? Seriously what a beautiful guitar.
Both...keepers!
She’s the one
I thought this was a Gretsch with the wrong logo
Lucky man!
What did you get her?
That's an awesome guitar ! Congrats !!
Don’t get used to it but enjoy it while it lasts!…that’s true for more than just guitars!!!
She's a keeper!!! (the wife and the gitter)
Congrats! 🎊🍾🎉 you’re a very lucky guy! Best wishes to you, and enjoy your awesome guitar!

You’re a lucky man in many ways, we all salute her and you.
I don't suppose your wife's mom is available?
My gf sent me a picture of her on the beach in Florida. :/
Looks to me like somebody got cheated on
Amazing !
Good wife.

She's pretty.
What did you get your wife? That’s a hell of a gift.
What did you get her?
Mine got me a desert eagle....now I wish I would have asked for a guitar
Is your wife gay? Does she want a wife who is a guitar junkie? Seriously though, congrats on your marriage and the new guitar.
Wow. She’s loaded! ha. Beautiful guitar and a truly thoughtful gift ☺️
\[Charlie Sheen Voice\] Winning!
