Alice In Chains' Jerry Cantrell Unveils Signature Gibson Acoustic Guitar
Jerry Cantrell and Gibson have unveiled two new signature model acoustic guitars: the "Fire Devil" and the "Atone."
As many Alice In Chains fans know, the acoustic guitar is central to Cantrell's songwriting. The new "Atone" Songwriter guitar was featured in the music video for the lead cut on Cantrell's recent solo album, "Brighten."
The "Atone" ($3,749) was built to Cantrell's specifications, featuring a thinner body depth and striking "Circle in Square" pickguard. The rarer "Fire Devil" Songwriter ($3,999) has the same features and a different pickguard. It is limited to 100 special edition units handmade by the luthiers at the Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana.
Both guitars feature a Jerry Cantrell signature on the truss rod and a Double J waterslide decal on the band of the headstock. The new acoustic guitars are already sold out on Gibson's website.
