Vintage 60??s SUPRO Colt Lexington Guitar Original Red Finish Short Scale USA

Oak Park, Illinois, 603**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$680

Super cool short scale (22??) rocker. Everything appears original to me, it is missing the logo decal and serial number on the rear but the build spec allows for close dating of the instrument. There are a few small marks throughout but generally looks pretty good and it sounds very cool. Everything seems to be working as intended. Replacement decals are readily available with a little bit of searching. You can see the outline of the previous decal for perfect placement. I see these listed all ... more

1958 Oahu Ozark - White (Valco / Supro)

Baltimore, Maryland, 212**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$900

Please read carefully and message with questions
This is believed to be a 1958 Oahu Ozark, which is also a part of Valco and Supro. I have done as much research on this guitar as I could find because it has a different headstock logo than others I??ve seen. The serial number matches the 1958 serials so I?m pretty certain that is accurate. What also makes this guitar unique is that it??s a cutaway and I don??t see too many of those
The electronics work great. Most importantly, the pickup ... more
