Olivia's Vintage would like to present this 1957 Gibson Super 400 in its original brilliant Sunburst finish which shows off its incredible flame maple back, sides, and neck. It has a great playing neck with good frets as it has been re-fretted. The bottom of the bridge base was slightly filed down at some point in time to help lower the action, but the action is currently 3/32" at the 12th on the low and high E, and there is 1/32" of room for the bridge to go down on the bass side, and 3/32" of room on the treble side with a set of .12's on it now. It's all original with the exception of the '60's Gibson bridge, frets, the nut, and the small gold nut on the end of the pickguard bracket screw. It's also 100% complete including its original hardshell case which has a broken handle. This vintage S-400-C looks great with only minor nicks + dings, very little extremely minor finish checking, and other cosmetic wear. There are extra screw holes on the side of the neck near the base where an aftermarket pickup had been installed. Everything remains structurally sound with no cracks, breaks, or repairs.
