The SA400 is a hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1977. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.
The SA400 features a full-sized, thinline, semi-hollow, double cutaway body design similar to a Gibson ES-345. It has an arched, laminated birch top with ƒ holes and ivory binding on birch sides and back with an internal anti-feedback center block mated to a set-in maple neck with a 22-fret ebonized rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and pearloid block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 80 humbucking pickups with gold covers and individual volume and tone controls along with a 6-position Varitone selector, available stereo output, black plastic pickup rings, a Tune-o-matic style Gibraltar bridge, a custom trapeze tailpiece, a bone nut, a tortoise shell pickguard, Sure Grip knobs, and Smooth Tuner II machine heads.
For 1978 the trapeze tailpiece was replaced with a Quik Change stop tailpiece mounted into the center block.
The SA100 is a related model with pearl dot fretboard inlays, chrome hardware and no varitone control. The 2630 and AS200 are somewhat similar Artist series models with a stop tailpiece mounted into the center block and different headstocks.
The SA400 was discontinued after 1979.
