This is possibly the coolest, the most completely hands-down rock and roll guitar I've ever owned. I've had a number of people inspect it and the general consensus is that it's a Supro from the late '50's/early '60's that has had a few mods done to it over the years. It is very playable and overall this guitar sounds amazing! It is just so damn badass!!! Awesome original pickup, big chunky knobs, stewed on strap, etc... This guitar is what rock and roll is all about...
