My Favorite Guitars (Chet Atkins album)

My Favorite Guitars is the twenty-sixth studio album by Chet Atkins. The guitars referred to are Atkins' signature Gretsch "Country Gentleman" electric guitar, a Brazilian Del Vecchio (guitar maker) resonator guitar presented to him by Los Indios Tabajaras, and a Spanish Juan Estruch classical guitar, all visible on the LP cover photo. It is another example of Atkins' 1960s easy-going, easy-listening guitar playing.
