Chet Atkins

How about this guy?  Chet Atkins design.  Brazilian mahogany before it was a bad word.  Each string has it's own adjustable sound pod--but unless your name is Chet Atkins--do not play with it.  But for plugged in classical players--this is your guitar.  This model was admittedly short lived, mainly because of the weight.  From the rear you would think it is a Les Paul.  The next generation of Gibson Chet Atkins Classical Electric guitars was considerably lighter.  I'm pretty sure I saw Willie Nelson playing one of these one time when Trigger was being "worked on".
