專家說明


Gibson shipping records for the Super 400 CESN (natural finish) list a mere seven units leaving the Kalamazoo factory in 1960. The standard specifications for the guitar in 1960 would have had them fitted with two Humbucking pickups. Considering the variant with this instrument, having two P-90 pickups, we can speculate that the guitar was in all probability a custom order.

One of three Super 400s acquired by Mark Knopfler in the mid-1980s from Pete’s Guitar in St. Paul, Minneapolis, this guitar was likely used during recording of the 1990 Notting Hillbillies album Missing...Presumed Having A Good Time at Mark’s home studio from mid-1988 to late 1989. Guitar tech Ron Eve recalls that the guitar was present in the studio from time to time during this period.
