Exquisitely finished as you expect from Gibson's flagship model, there is no sign of any fading or excessive wear. The woods used are stunning, Spruce top with fiddleback maple back and sides gives this guitar a premium look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck is in equally stunning condition. Flamed maple and walnut construction, combined with the decadent inlay finished to Gibson’s high standard is a joy to play. The ebony fretboard is free of wear and there's plenty of life left in the original frets. The original Grover G-98 tuners are still present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one has been darkened inside under the f holes which was sometimes done to avoid camera white-outs during close up shots with old b\u0026amp;w tube cameras. Unfortunately this has also obscured the white label on the inside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe original marbled pickguard is still present almost in defiance of its age. Elsewhere the hardware is in equally good condition, finely engraved. This was one of the last Gibson's to have the nice script logo before they changed over to the one you see today later in 1946.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe guitar comes with its premium leather, or pig skin as some people refer to it as, hardshell case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs with the L5, the reputation of these was built on being able to keep up with a horn section and this one is no exception. It has an authoritative voice acoustically that has a wonderful three dimensional quality that's translated well when amplified.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA premium archtop with tone to match, the pinnacle of any guitar collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53509602541907,"sku":"??????","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/7258\/4275\/files\/1946GibsonSuper400sunburst-4.jpg?v=1775557938","url":"https:\/\/www.atbguitars.com\/products\/1936-gibson-super-400-sunburst","provider":"ATB Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
