Gibson Super 400
1953 Gibson Super 400 CES, Natural
This archtop Gibson (serial number 15808) is one of the Mark's favorite guitars. The pickups used rare 'Alnico' magnets.*
Used on Your Latest Trick (for the live concert) and Fade To Black (On Every Street) for its 'plummy' jazz sound using a vintage Fender Vibroverb combo. Also Mark used on Run Me Down (The Notting Hillbillies tour 1990).
