The electric input is the old type of input instead of the quarter inch jacks of guitars of today.
I think the volume knobs are also bakelight. Has the original, ( I think it is bakelight bar with the guitar) I have never seen one of these.

Thanks, I am unable to get a picture of the instrument, but the serial # is V35499.

If you can find the serial number (a small metal plate on the back of the guitar near the tuners) we can tell you the year the guitar was made.Ī photo would greatly help identify the specific model. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.īased on the limited description, it sounds like a Supro Twin from 1948-1955. The nuts at the top of the neck were not even cracked.
When I inspected the guitar it had no cracks in the finish and the fretboard was in excellent shape. Does anyone have any idea what a guitar like this in good shape would be worth? It has the blond pearlized finish on it. It is very old, but in good shape other than being dirty and needing cleaning. I have some friends that have an old double neck Supro lap steel guitar in good shape. Your profile | join | preferences | help | search Supro lap steel - The Steel Guitar Forum INSTRUCTION
