Overview: National/Valco-made Supro Dual Tones came in an earlier solidbody format and this slightly-later, semihollow format with a fiberglass body (Supro/National called this "Res-O-Glas" construction). It's an attractive guitar with a cozy, retro-cut, medium-heft neck and classy, deco styling throughout. 

There's not quite much out there that looks and handles like these guys. I find them fun guitars but they have very specific sounds. Without modifying the original wiring, the neck pickups tend to be fairly dark in tone and the bridge pickups more aggressive and spanky. In either case, both sound best when pushing an amp into drive or gain as that's where their character really shines. With drive they do that "radial airplane engine" tone to a T -- one of my favorite gain-y sounds that's immediately garage-rock lovely.

Repairs included: Max gave this a level/dress of the frets, sprayed out the wiring, and set it all up. It's playing spot-on and ready to serve.

Condition notes: It's completely original as far as I can tell. There's a little wear and tear and discoloration to the fiberglass body and edges/sides of the neck, but overall it looks good. The body (luckily) has no breaks or cracks The frets were a little worn when it came in and the level/dress job left the zero fret/nut quite low and some of the frets way up at the body-side of the neck on the low side but it otherwise plays as-normal. We've tweaked the string path at the nut to make it a non-issue. The original wiring on these is a little quirky -- the neck control pots are volume/tone while the bridge controls appear to be volume and a bass cut or blend control of some sort in place of a tone. The control near the 3-way switch is master volume. I'm assuming there is a low-value capacitor wired hard into the signal chain from the neck pickup (that's removable, but it's there) -- something you often see in these old Valco instruments.

It comes with: It has an old, rectangular, hard case.
