I just watched the Chet Atkins "Certified Guitarist" concert on PBS this week.

Chet and Mark Knopfler do a duet of Imagine and they seem to be playing the same guitars.

It is a shallow body, almost like an electric but is a wider neck nylon string.

Anybody have any idea what they are?

He also sung one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard... "I still can't say goodbye". Here he is playing it on a TV show... I can't find a video of it from the concert. Fast forward to about 3:45 if you want to skip the interview

I watched that same thing!! Great stuff!!

I just can't tell which classical is which, it's unfortunately not my thing, they all look the same LOL. Unless there is something really special that marks them.

In Space, no one can hear me sing!

That's it! The black label in the soundhole with the script writing is exactly the same. No "Gibson" on the headstock, but all other indications point to that.

Thanks!
