Chet Atkins My Favorite Guitars Vinyl LP RCA LPM-3316 Mono

Step into a six-string masterclass with Chet Atkins – My Favorite Guitars, released in 1965 on RCA Victor Records (Catalog No. LPM-3316 Mono / LSP-3316 Stereo). A true pioneer of the “Nashville Sound” and one of the most influential guitarists of the 20th century, Atkins conceived this landmark album as a showcase for his personal collection of prized instruments—ranging from his signature Gretsch electrics to delicate classical guitars and acoustic archtops.

Recorded at RCA’s famed Nashville Sound Studio with engineer Chuck Seitz and producer Bob Ferguson, the album blends country, Latin jazz, pop standards, and classical repertoire with Chet’s trademark Travis-picking dexterity. Mastered in original high-fidelity mono, My Favorite Guitars remains a quintessential LP for audio enthusiasts, fingerstyle pickers, and fans of classic mid-century instrumental artistry.
