The Hampton is a 21st-century update of the Supro electric solid-body guitar. The elegant comfort of the 1960Õs-era beveled-edge Ozark body shape and the mighty sound of the original field-coil pickups have been enhanced with an ultra-fast satin neck, Tune-o-matic bridge and updated wave tailpiece. The result is a modern playerÕs instrument with old-school style and authentic Supro tone. The unique Gold Foil pickups found in the Supro Hampton are faithful reproductions of the original magnetics developed for Valco by Ralph Keller in the early 1950s. These pickups, which gave voice to the vintage Chicago-made Supro guitars, have a massive, broadband sound with remarkably low noise for a single-coil design. The mini-humbucker-sized version of the Supro Gold Foil pickup found in this guitar have the same internal construction as the humbucker-sized versions found in the other Island Series models. The HamptonÕs bridge pickup is wound slightly hotter than the others, while the middle pickup is RWRP, providing fully hum-cancelling sound in the Ò2 and 4Ó positions of the 5-way blade switch. The time-tested tone wood recipe of an alder body paired with a 25 _Ó-scale maple neck and rosewood fretboard combine with the HamptonÕs vintage-correct pickups to produce an exceptionally dynamic playing experience. Blending vintage American tone with refined set-neck design, the Supro Hampton is intended for the professional musician who needs an ergonomic and versatile guitar capable of handling most genres of music with authority. The three pickups cover a huge range of tones, from fat single-coil jazz tones in the neck position to spanky funk tones and sparkling twang in the middle, and pure rock power when the bridge pickup is selected. The Hampton guitar and its relatives in the Island Series represent the rebirth of the Supro brand as a stringed instrument manufacturer. The Supro Island series of guitars was designed by David Koltai and Glenn Sweetwood, with technical assistance from master designer Trevor Wilkinson and vintage pickup expert Ken Calvet. ¥ Vintage Supro Ozark body design ¥ Flame Maple Tobacco Burst ¥ Set neck with black satin finish ¥ 3x Mini Gold Foil pickups ¥ 50Õs-wiring volume and tone controls ¥ 5-position pickup switch ¥ Wave tailpiece ¥ Alder body ¥ Maple neck ¥ 25 _Ó scale ¥ Block inlays ¥ 6100 frets ¥ 12Ó radius fretboard ¥ Corian nut
