This is an original Gibson Super 400C pickgaurd from the 1950's. If you are looking at this you know how rare they are to find and how critical they are to the look of a Super 400. Also much more rare to find one for an acoustic S400C.

The top is made of high-quality solid, curved spruce. The solid maple sides and back also display beautiful grain. The F-holes are also slightly larger than those of later models, giving it an early look.

This particular Super 400CES is a 1961 model. While Florentine cutaways typically feature a laminated maple back, this one has a solid maple back. The all-solid wood body provides excellent picking response, and combined with its large size, produces a powerful sound.
