Airline Twin Tone DLX Basswood Body Bolt-on Maple, Modern-C Shape Neck 6-String Electric Guitar

Among the first solid-body Valco guitars, the Supro Dual-Tone sprang onto the stage in the 1950s. Our Airline Twin Tone is the natural next step in the model’s evolution, a short 60(+) years later. 

Why sacrifice your shoulder for tone? This is a true under-the-radar American classic without the punishing weight that’s often associated with more mainstream American guitars of the fifties and sixties. Pinstriped twin pickguards and Dual Hot-Rail humbuckers contribute to the Twin Tone’s over-the-top attitude and carry on the tradition of the icons who made the Dual Tone famous.
