1952 Supro Airline Steel

Serial # X14706. Perhaps the best way to describe this very cool 50's Supro Steel guitar would be to quote the company's original catalog description. So, here you go:

The finest new Hawaiian Guitar of the famous SUPRO line. Designed exclusively for the professional artist. Constructed of the finest materials and carefully styled to meet the taste of the most discriminating artist.

Here is a truly superb instrument that any professional can play with pride. The performance of this instrument will equal them all. Your playing pleasure is doubly assured and protected by the reliable written SUPRO guarantee.

The instrument is finished in an all new durable glossy two-tone plastic in shining Ebony Black and sparkling Arctic White. Finish will not chip or crack. New artistic fingerboard is of radiant plexiglass with positions marked in burnished silver.

Tone of the fully adjustable unit is unsurpassed… modern new swivel cord attachment… non-slip suede back… wide range tone and volume controls with smooth action knurled knobs.

Endearing, isn't it? Nice steel, excellent tone. Tuners have been swapped out, otherwise this one is completely original. Set-up at Folkway.

With original "Hard Shell Flannel Lined Case"
