- Gibson Super 400 - Super 400 Serial Number 91809. Pre-War Gibson L-5 (PreWarGibsonL-5.com)."The example pictured here was entered into Gibson’s ledgers in April 1935 (serial number 91809) qualifying it as one of the first two Super 400 guitars to be delivered by the Gibson factory (it is the earliest surviving example known at this time). / The label reads Deluxe at the top and L-5 for the model while the deco-shaped black truss rod cover is engraved Super L-5. Unlike later production examples the tailpiece is not engraved with the Super 400 legend – though the heel displays the words Super 400. Perhaps Gibson was hedging its bets between the Super L-5 and Super 400 names when this guitar was built? / ... "See image 1: "SUPER L-5" logo on the truss rod cover with , and image 3: "Super 400" logo on the neck heel plate.

"Upon first inspection, this 1935 Gibson appears to be an L-5 neck on a Super 400 body. Labeled an L-5 Special, it most likely is the earliest 18″-wide archtop f-hole model made by any builder. It is also very likely a prototype of the Super 400, as it precedes the introduction of that model by several months. / ... / The L-5 Special featured here has a Super 400-style/18″ body, spruce top with f holes, figured maple back and sides with sunburst finish, multiple body bindings, maple L-5-style neck with walnut backstripe, ebony fingerboard with pearl block inlays, and pearl peghead inlays. Gibson records indicate it was shipped to Coy Davison on September 6, 1935. ... "
