The Semi-hollow Gibson was conceived as a blend of the tone and sustain
of a solidbody with the balance and aesthetics of a hollowbody. The “woody”
tone of these guitars made them popular with Jazz artists like Larry Carlton
and Blues greats like B. B. and Albert King. Our model is based on a 1961
dot neck, with P.A.F.’s and a stop tailpiece.

Casino
Gibson acquired former rival Epiphone in 1957 and began producing
Epiphone guitars in its Kalamazoo factory. John Lennon was particularly fond
of the Casino, and continued to record with it long after the breakup of the
Beatles. The Casino features P-90 pickups.

Gibson added a sharp “Venetian” cutaway and a fancier ngerboard to the
budget ES-125 model to create the ES-175. With the addition of a second
P-90 pickup in 1953, this quickly became a popular and enduring choice for
jazz guitarists.

Super 400
By the end of the 1940’s, changing musical styles found premium archtops
like the Super 400 to be lacking in volume. By simply adding the pickups and
controls developed for its early electric guitars, Gibson created the electric
version of the Super 400 in 1951. Our model is based on the version with
P-90’s. Check out Scotty Moore (and Elvis) playing a Super 400 in the ’68
Comeback Special.
