    I’m selling this likely one-off Super 400 for a friend of mine who needs to raise funds because of an unexpected health issue. We are trying to get him at least $14.5k after any fees (none of the proceeds this sale will go to me), so it can be had for that in cash. I’ll cover shipping out of my pocket.

    It’s a really exceptional guitar in more ways than just looks. Please check it out and send any questions my way.

    Another interesting feature of this 2002, unusual for a set pickup version is that it’s x-braced.

    I wonder if the X bracing is different than if it didnt have a pickup...? And what would be the advantage over parallel and does it have something to do with the depth
    nice friggin guitar!

    Vin.. This is the one..
    Just like you cant hit a guy wearing glasses, she would NOT frying pan you while you are wearing all that equipment at the very moment.
    My Goodness, that is perfection. A Super400 without all that extra iron on it.
    Bro I think You and Chuck need to have a conversation.

    There is a price in the original post, but there's no dollar sign.

    Chuck much staining from the CC case ?
    When that green felt turns to rust color that means color bleed.
    All CC cases seem to cause some amount of staining.

    side pics please ?

    Any chance of partial trades + cash with other very high end archtops or is this a cash only sale ?

    No discoloration to my eye, but I can’t see the lightest shades of green.

    I was wondering the same. My CC case trauma continues, but the side pics look fine!

    Concerning your other question, I could consider working something out, but I would really prefer the bulk be in cash. Anything beyond the cash amount would need to come out of pocket from me until I could sell the trade.

    Can someone contrast tone/sound (most importantly plugged in) to Super 400CES?

    If we can get 15k to him he would be happy with that. Costs for the healthcare needs are starting to happen and he needs to close the gaps.

    Make that $14.5k net to him. Again, nothing goes to me and I will cover shipping almost anywhere in the world.

    Just a question of curiosity: is the volume controlled by a slider - or what is it that i see on the lower side of the PG?

    Yes, that is exactly what you’re seeing there. There is a slider volume control mounted under the pickguard.
