Supro guitars return

Modern construction techniques and materials
What sets these Supro Island Series Hampton solidbody electric guitars apart from their older ancestors are the modern-day construction techniques that were deployed in their creation. A solid alder body and flame maple cap are utilized for their balanced tonality and beauty. The maple neck is set into the body and boasts a comfortably designed neck heel that offers easy high-fret access. You'll also appreciate the neck's satin finish for unrestrained playing. Finally, a solid and adjustable bridge ensures the guitar's intonation remains solid.
Vintage-correct electronics
The Supro Island Series Hampton solidbody electric guitar has a bold look, especially considering its trio of genuine Gold Foil single-coil pickups. These Gold Foils are painstaking re-creations of the originals designed by Ralph Keller in the early 1950s. They are true single-coils, full of chime and bell-like clarity, in mini humbucker-style enclosures. These pickups ensure you'll enjoy a huge, full-range tone with plenty of switching options. Add in the '50s-style wiring, and you'll be reveling in vintage-flavored rock tones in no time.
