1935 GIBSON SUPER 400
THE GIBSON SUPER 400 WAS FIRST ISSUED IN 1934 AND THE FIRST EDITION WAS MADE FOR 2 YEARS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE RARE FIRST EDITION GUITARS, AND IT HAS SURVIVED ALL THESE YEARS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
I BOUGHT THIS GUITAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO WAS GOING TO GIVE IT TO HIS GRANDSON, BUT THE GRANDSON WAS SO IRRESPONSIBLE THAT HE DECIDED TO SELL THE GUITAR TO SOMEONE THAT WOULD RESPECT AND PRESERVE IT .
IT WAS PAID FOR WEEKLY WHEN HE BOUGHT IT . HE SAID THAT HE MADE THE PAYMENTS TO THE MUSIC STORE , $4 PER WEEK FOR 2 YEARS.
THE GUITAR IS 100% ORIGINAL, ORIGINAL SUNBURST FININSH, ORIGINAL ENGRAVED TAILPIECE, WAVERLY TUNERS, PICKGARD BRACKET, AND THE SUPER 400 ENGRAVED ON THE NECK HEELPLATE.
IT HAS IT'S ORIGINAL LEATHER COVERED CASE, PICKGARD, BRIDGE, ETC.
THE GUITAR HAS NEVER DEVELOPED A CRACK IN 74 YEARS OF PLAYING.
THE ONLY REPAIR IS A SMALL PIECE OF BINDING , ABOUT 2 INCHES , THAT WAS REPLACED ON THE PICKGARD WHERE A FLOATING PICKUP ONCE WAS.
THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S BROTHER WAS A BIG BAND GUITARIST, ALSO.
HE PLAYED IN OZZIE NELSON'S BAND. OZZIE LATER WAS THE FATHER ON THE "LEAVE IT TO BEAVER " TELEVISION SHOW.
THIS GUITAR WAS PLAYED IN THE BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS, AREA, IN MANY LARGE AND SMALL JAZZ BANDS FOR IT'S WHOLE LIFETIME.
THE GUITAR IS IN GREAT PLAYING CONDITION. IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT! THE NECK IS AS STRAIGHT AS THE DAY THAT IT WAS MADE.
THE GUITAR'S FRETS EVEN LOOK ORIGINAL.
GIBSON TOOK GREAT PAINS TO MAKE THE BEST GUITAR EVER MADE WHEN THEY MADE THE SUPER 400 AND TO THIS DAY , THIS IS STILL THE KING OF ALL GUITARS
THIS GUITAR WOULD EASILY BE THE CENTERPIECE OF ANY FINE GUITAR COLLECTION AND IS ALSO A GREAT INVESTMENT.
