Guitar History: Until 1939, the Super 400s had a hand-engraved tailpiece and a hand-engraved finger rest support. During the very early production stock the truss rod cover had engraved “L5 Super”; on later guitars this was changed to “Super 400”. The Super 400 went through several changes, including a slightly wider upper-bout dimension in ’37, an improved tailpiece in ’39, parallel top bracing (the originals had been X-braced) in ’39.In 1939 the guitar was changed. The upper bout was enlarged, and the hand-engraved tailpiece was replaced with the one still fitted today on current Super 400s. The f-holes were slightly enlarged and a cutaway option also became available called the Super 400P (for Premiere), later changed to C for Cutaway. In ornamentation, too, Gibson took giant steps. The pearl block fingerboard inlays that had identified the L-5 archtop since 1929 were appropriated for the Super 400 and given diagonal slashes. A five-piece diamond-shaped headstock inlay also incorporated an angled slash, and the diamond was repeated on the back of the peghead in a three-piece inlay.Every edge of the new model was at least triple-bound, with the top receiving seven-ply binding. A massive Y-shaped tailpiece was engraved with the model name, and the gold-plated tuners also had engraving on the buttons. Even the neck heel cap was engraved with the model name. The pickguard was celluloid with an eye-catching marbleized pattern. Initially, guitarists had a choice of a thin top or thick top. The difference of about 1/16″ was expected to make a noticeable difference in tone, but it proved a negligible tonal difference, and the tops soon became all the same.Top: SpruceBack and Sides: Flamed MapleSerial: 00100102Nut Width: 1.63″12th fret 2.04″3rd Fret depth .83710th frets depth .97Scale Length: 25 1/2Lower Bout Width: 18″Inlays: Dual ParallelogramWhite Bound Black PickguardDepth: 3″Original case in near mint condition GUITARS 'N JAZZ carries a large selection of luthier carved archtops including over400 Archtops, Semi Hollows, and Flattops and over 200 Eastmans (it’s hard to believe that anyone stocks more archtops than GuitarsnJazz)so that you can come in and pick out the one that is exactly right for you and save money. check out the prices on our site!
