Up for grabs is a rare, top of the Supro line Arlington Model S655 res-o-glass (fiberglass body) guitar in all original condition almost mint condition. With obvious inspiration from Fender's Jazzmaster/Jaguar/Mustang offset guitars the Supro Arlington featured 3 pickups; Two humbucker sized single coils and the "bridgetone" or piezo pickup built into the rosewood bridge. This combination is the same as the hugely sought after Supro Martinique guitar. The piezo pickup is the secret a lot of Dan Auerbach's tone on the Black Keys Brother and El Camino album. You can get this really biting hollow type tone that is awesome. The guitar features individual volume controls for each pickup, a series of tone switches and "on" "off" switches for each pickup. The tonal possibilities are almost endless. The neck features vintage style frets that show very little wear and she plays wonderfully. The bigsby vibrato completes the perfect setup. The guitar was recently gone over by my tech and she intonates and plays spot on. The condition of the guitar is almost mint. I have never seen a res-o-glas guitar in this kind of condition. There is only one area of slight crazing in the finish on the lower bout as shown in the pictures. The white finish still has a great glossy sheen and it really something special in person. The only minor flaw is wear it looks like someone put a sticker by the bigsby and there is some yellowish residue on the body, as shown in the pictures. |
