Product Description

Gibson Super V brings together the clarity of a Super 400 and the iconic jazz tone of an L5 in a more comfortable 17” body  Handcarved bookmatched solid spruce top; solid carved maple back and sides tap tuned and signed by Jim TRIGGS and labelled THE GIBSON MASTER MODEL  and the first Master Model to come through our shop in 25 years: 3 piece tiger flame neck with walnut centerstripes; solid ebony fingerboard with Super 400 style split block fingerboard inlay; Super 400 style split diamond peghead with Gibson logo and block-and-wedges inlay on the back; deluxe 7-ply body binding, 5-ply peghead and fingerboard binding, 3 ply back binding, bound f-holes, solid bone nut. Originally manufactured for only 3 years from 1979 to 1981.  Custom orders were only available until 1993. This stunning Super V CESN was a custom order in 1991 with the most flamed  hand picked woods we have every seen on a Gibson or just about any other Archtop for a collector. Except for some superficial scratches on the pick guard and by the truss rod cover that can only be seen with reflected light, and a mild dullness on the corner of the pickups this could be considered mint.Shown in the last 8 photos

 Case: Original brown Gibson-logo pink plush lined hardshell case.

The Super V was designed for players seeking the tone and clarity of a Super 400, but with the smaller body of the L5. This offers the best of both with the larger Super 400 headstock and neck, and the smaller 17″ L5 Body. Amazing neck -with no buzzing and really low action, and best of all – a rare Blonde Gibson Super V.

Amazing- Collector grade -near mint -Original – pickups, hardware and original frets in almost new condition with low action and a smooth player with that great vintage tone and mojo only found in the older Gibsons. Great vintage Gibson.
