Gibson Super 400

The Gibson Super 400 is the largest archtop guitar in the company's traditional range, introduced in the 1930s. Its body measures eighteen inches across, with a carved spruce top and maple back and sides, f-holes and an elaborate decoration of binding, inlays and a large tailpiece, and it produces a deep, powerful and broadly balanced acoustic sound intended to carry in a dance band without amplification. It has been produced in several versions, including electric cutaway models, and it stands at the head of Gibson's acoustic archtop designs, alongside the L-5.
