The CGP is a Gretsch guiitar that came out a few years ago. Its a reproduction of Chet's prototype from 56' with stereo wiring. Darrel made it sound great .
@johnnyweep59 CGP stands for 'Certified Guitar Player,' which is an honorable title given to only four guitarists by the great Chet Atkins. The four guitarists given the title of CGP are Jerry Reed, John Knowles, Steve Wariner and Tommy Emmanuel.
@johnnyweep59 It's not a problem! However, there won't be any more guitarists being labeled as a C.G.P. as Chet Atkins died back in 2001. Also, as great a guitarist as Brian Setzer was, Atkins only gave that honorary title to those who mainly play/played fingerstyle.
You might want to seek out a good hearing specialist as you are obviously deaf. Or maybe just stupid. I own a cgp and it is amazing. Been playing Gretsch guitars for over 50 years and they are amazing.

My inspiration. He’s my favorite guitar player by far.
I've always had respect for D, Higham and his style of playing.
these rockabilly styles are cool.

It is actually an original 54' handle i put on the guitar. I love these old ones.

Great stuff Darrel but what I want to learn is how to play the "m-A-y" chord so I can find me a girl as sweet as your Imelda :)

It sounds like someone put strings on a cardboard box. No wonder chet invented the 1959 model.
