Jaw dropper; mid sixties Gibson Super 400C model with factory custom Byrdland short-scale 23.5" neck, with original hard shell case (hang tag present with model & "SPECIAL" suffix); gorgeous flamed maple construction with delicately grained spruce throughout. 

The seventeen inch wide archtop body has a single Venetian cutaway, is fully bound and trimmed with multi-lam., two bound f-holes, adjustable rosewood bridge, and gold-plated/engraved tailpiece. The back deeply carved with Gibson label present, with parallel bracing system; reverse-fading from past pickguard setups present, with unfortunate indents from pickup below extension. 

The multi-piece neck has a 23.5" scale ebony fingerboard with thick multi-binding, pointed extension, lightly worn original frets, with large pearl block inlays, with 1-11/16" wide nut width, large multi bound peghead with pearl logo and diamond on back, equipped with gold plated enclosed gear Grover tuners below lightly impressed serial number. 

In fantastic original condition, but for some light cosmetic dings, checking, honest play wear, and screw holes from past pickguards.
