The 1975 Gibson Super 400C is one of the most iconic and highly collectible archtop guitars ever produced. It features a massive 18-inch body, premium woods, luxurious appointments, and a rich, powerful acoustic tone.
Key Features and Specifications
• Body Size: An impressive 18-inch wide grand auditorium-style body.
• Materials: Solid carved spruce top with solid figured (flamed) maple back and sides.
• Neck & Fretboard: Multi-piece figured maple neck, topped with a bound ebony fretboard featuring pearl split-block inlays.
• Hardware: Gold-plated hardware, including a distinctive engraved Super 400 tailpiece and Kluson Sealfast tuners.
• The 1970–1975 Era: This 6-digit serial number (553328) paired with the stamped "MADE IN USA" text is the exact indicator for this time frame. And it’s a rare Custom Super 400, as it has a pre ‘70s neck without the volute.
• Pickguard removed as it completely "gassed off" leaving little more than crumbs (included).
• Gold Humbucking pickup and volume / tone potentiometers removed, damaged by the corrosive nitric acid from pickguard gassing (included).
• Brown Gibson USA hardshell case with pink plush lining and satin cover.
