❌SOLD❌ Gibson Super 400 Archtop Electric Natural, 1969

❌SOLD❌    Gibson Super 400 Archtop Electric Natural, 1969

The Gibson Super 400 strode above most others when giant archtops roamed the earth, and is still one of the largest production guitars made. Making its introduction in 1934 as the ‘Super L-5 Deluxe’, the non-cutaway model was quickly joined by a cutaway model, initially named the Super 400 P for ‘Premiere’. The ‘400’ designation was originally a reference to the price.
