There are numerous images showing Benny with this instrument.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The body of the Super 400 is imposing with a width of 18 inches. The top is made of solid, hand-carved spruce. There is a small, stable crack on the top (see photo). The back and sides are made of solid maple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The neck is three-piece maple. The fretboard is high-quality ebony and features beautiful Mother of Pearl split-block inlays. The original gold Kluson Sealfast tuning machines with metal keystone knobs are present and function perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This model is a Cutaway Electric Spanish Natural (CESN), which means it is equipped with two T-Top Patent Number Pickups. The original pickguard is still present, but shows signs of age, as is more common with Gibson pickguards. The original Super 400 tailpiece is engraved with the model name, and the original ebony bridge with inlay is also present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This 1972 Gibson Super 400 is an exceptional instrument with a rich history and sublime playability. Despite its large size, it is surprisingly light and comfortable. Its resonance and sound make it perfect for jazz. This example comes with the original black Gibson hard case.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"Gibson Super 400 CESN Custom 1972 played by Nick Croes | The Guitar Company\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vxxdpxAVfrk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/theguitarcompany.nl\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"Toon Hermans - One Man Show 1997\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/141XXkTKzyc?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/theguitarcompany.nl\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Gibson Super 400 is a legendary archtop guitar that is among the absolute best.
