| Notes: |
Released in 1934, the Super 400 was (and remains) the largest guitar that the Gibson Corporation had produced. During the first four years, it featured a hand engraved tailpiece and finger rest. The very early production models truss rod covers had engraved "L5 Super" (later were changed to 'Super 400'). In 1939, the upper bout was enlarged and the hand engraved tailpiece was replaced with the same one that is used to this day. The 'f' holes were enlarged, and a cutaway option was available. This was called the Super 400C. During the '50s, Gibson released the Super 400 CES. It had a slightly thicker top (to reduce feedback), two P-90 pickups, individual tone and volume controls, and a three way toggle switch. The P-90 pickups were replaced with Alnico V pickups, then in 1957, PAF humbucking pickups.
