it was one of the most expensive Gibson models at the time, the body is one piece mahogany that is hollowed out and the top is carved from spruce with stays carved into the top, the top carved to a precise fit with the body so no glue was used, they came equipped with two 57 Classic humbuckers, in my opinion one of the best Gibson models of the last 30 years, Gibson stopped making them as they were very labor intensive and expensive for them to build and they marketed this guitar wrong by comparing it to a Les Paul and a ES 335, the ES 446 have there own voice that is completely different than a Les Paul or any other ES model, a versatile guitar that can go from Rock to Jazz with out a problem, the rear control panel cover is particularly handy if you have to work on the electronics any time, they are rare and people who have them tend not to let them go, but if you ever get chance to play one I'm sure it will impress you.
