1952 Supro Ozark

Serial # X14150. In my mind, solid-body electrics don't come much cooler than this pearloid-covered yellow, black, and vinyl early fifties Supro. It has a small 11" wide solid body (similar in shape to the first Harmony Stratotones) with a 24.75" Gibson-scale neck, black vinyl-covered pickup and a matching pickguard which houses all the electrical components. The neck is finished in black lacquer; and the headstock logo, tuner buttons, and white edge balance the pearloid body with a dose of retro-class. Supro electrics have a fat C shaped neck, with a nut that's 1-11/16" wide. It feels great in the hand; but you've got to like necks that have some meat on them to enjoy playing this guitar. The fingerboard is Brazilian, with a comfortable radius. This guitar does exactly what you think it should. It wails and screams, and is big and fat, especially in the mids. It's a raw machine, and loves blues or blues-influenced sounds. It's set up well and plays without issues. Its original pots have been swapped out for new ones that function, but we've kept the original parts for you too. The output jack is a 50's screw-on type, for which we made a new lead cord that will be included with the guitar. The original cord is included as well, but is non-functional. The original case is in good shape, with some rips in the covering here and there, and some vintage glamour girl decals to dress it up. A great looking package.
