Slaman Super 400 with CC pickup

[Fred Archtop]

Hey Jazzers,

Just received this dream guitar a couple of days ago. It's been crafted by Daniel Slaman. Here are some pics done by Daniel Himself.



It's been years that I was looking for a S400 with a CC pickup, but there are not so many around. I've tried one a few years ago from a batch of a dozen of CCS400 made by Gibson around year 2k, but I wasn't convinced. My dream specs were uncut: (who needs a cutaway ) , strong acoustic voice, and modern playability. Daniel was inspired by a prewar S400 acoutic model with a short scale (24" 3/4) to make that one, and it can't be better than this, acoustic or amplified.

Here is a demo where I'm trying to squeeze out the warm tone of it. I'll probably commit some other videos just with acoustic tone.

Cheers.

Looks and sounds just great Fred, enjoy that one!
I still regret not buying a non cut prewar Super retrofitted w a CC many moons ago
I think it was this one.

Congrats! Slaman is highly regarded and although I've not had the opportunity to play one, they always sound great in videos. Yours is no exception! Enjoy!

Congratulations Fred! There’s nothing like the tone of a big box!
