Seller's description

The Chet Atkins SST in HCS colors—a rare find in Japan—has arrived! The Chet Atkins SST (Steel String) has arrived. It was manufactured in 1998. This is a later-model version featuring minor changes, such as the removal of the faux soundhole and the return to a standard headstock shape with star inlays.
