One of our favorite art-deco style models with very hot pickups. Valco made with their classic string through pickup. They have that much sought after unique growl. Supro/Valco/National pickups are legendary among the realm of guitar pickups. String through design with separate coils for bass and treble utilizing AlNiCo magnets. Jason Lollar was impressed enough by their sound & design he recreated a modern version of them. See Lollar pickups web site under Supro pickups. (Valco/Supro/National are various evolutions/convolutions of the same company.) This pickup has such great qualities that some guitarists have swapped these for their regular solid bodied electric pickups. These p’ups put out a sound favored by many slide players. Ry Cooder, Peter Green, Jeff Healy, Jeff Lind, Rick Alexander, Jody Carver, Herb Remington, are some that come to mind. Ry Cooder used them in his Coodercasters. Peter Green reversed the polarity in some for some of his early FM recordings. The consensus seems to define the pickup quality as “dirty”. It does overdrive readily and creates remarkable sustain. But it also handles clean well if that’s how you dial it in. These are versatile fun instruments to play. The case is also in good solid condition.

Legs and leg sockets all good.  Pickup covers good and present, not cracked. Regular ¼” plug in jack, not the Amphenol screw-on type. Chip in finish on upper bout of lower neck. Weighs 24 lbs in the case. 

At some point along the way someone raised the far neck a little to make it much easier to play the far neck.

Gone through and serviced, it’s ready to play & sounding great.
