Gibson Guitar and Bass 1964 Guitar and Bass catalog. Page 4. The Electric Spanish guitars continue with three full-size hollow-body jazz guitars. The very fine Gibson Super 400 CES and L-5 CES and probably the best known jazz guitar of all time, the Gibson ES-175D.
Just like the Artist series of electric Spanish guitars on the previous two pages, the Super 400CES and L-5CES were available only on a special order basis from the Gibson Custom instrument department (Upstairs in the Kalamazoo plant). These were some of the finest guitars ever built in America.
