1940's Blonde MOTS Supro
PREVIOUS OWNER REPORTS: Supro Lap Electric Guitar, pick up works, missing some machine head parts, in decent shape otherwise, with old beat up maroon felt lined case.
DENNY'S NOTE: Notice the handsome shoulders of the upper bouts. This is one of the rarer Supro / Valco designs; A bit thinner and narrower than it's beefier cousins. It looks small, but it's standard Supro / Valco 23" scale length shows that it isn't small. A really nice Steel. It has a nice, original, plush, deluxe hardshell case that's not in as bad a condition as the non-Musician previous owner reported above; "Normal active wear" would have been my choice of words; Not "beat up". The case has rather normal active wear and is quite easily refurbishable to good presentable condition; If a person even wanted to do that; Leaving it as it is would be all original with normal average use wear. I can expertly repair any weak spots in the case for a nominal charge, if a Customer desires.
The thinner & narrower design of this Steel makes it a much better Supro / Valco to travel with as it will fit into standard size luggage. It is 29.5" from tip of headstock to butt of the body; 7" wide, and 2" thick from back plane to top of pickup plane. It's case is 34" x 8" x 2.75" respectively.
As with most of the vintage instruments I sell; In keeping with wise Buyers' expectations and thus industry standard, I do not touch / repair anything on a vintage instrument unless the Buyer / Customer OK's that I do so, .....for very small modest fees to cover parts and material costs. I try my best to inspect closely and disclose any substantial issue(s) an instrument might have. |
