1964 Supro ---- fresh out of the closet
Even after hunting for old guitars for the last 20+ years, I still get excited to find an unmolested (love that term) example that was put away years ago. This one has been played a bit. It's still very original with all it's parts and case. Strings are new, of course -_-

'56 Supro/Valco Comet
Here's a 1956 Supro/Valco Comet, covered in glorious, glorious tweed. Our book says this is the only Supro amp with a ten-inch speaker that they made in the 50s. Not as clean as our blackface and silverface Champs, but very cool and practically dripping killer tone.
We're going to very carefully and respectfully try to freshen up the inside of this amp. As with most well-used gear from the fifties, this thing looks like it has seen the elephant, and all his children. Plug in your guitar and it'll tell you all about it.
