The Chetboard

Not that it will make any difference what I think but I think the original single cutaway Gretsch CG, walnut finish, aluminium Bigsby was unmatched for beauty and elegance.

This?

>meh<

It didn't go into production. That's what prototypes are for. Paul once said words to the effect that if someone has a "Chet owned" guitar it usually means he didn't care for it.

I'm with Norm.....I like clean, elegant guitars. That being said, that guitar might be a good investment, as it is definitely one of a kind. It might take a while to recoup your investment, but over the long haul, I only see something like that going up in value.....whether or not it is a great guitar.

I thought for a second that Steven Segal was a wax statue when I saw the pictures. Then I thought if it was a wax statue, he would have looked great beside those old statues of Merle and Chet that use to be down in the Nashville wax museum.
That's one suped up guitar. I prefer just a plain ol' Brown Gibson Gent.

I just do not see Chet and this guitar being a pair. It is waaaaay too "elaborate". The cool thing about Chet was, he didn't mind giving you his autograph. No doubt he signed it. Beyond that...(I'm stopping there...Segal loves that broken arm move...although I think he would shatter, if you you got a lick in on him)
