Supro Americana 1571VDW White Holiday Semi Hollow Vibrato Guitar & Bag Demo #598

The Americana Series guitars are replicas of the Supro "reso-glass" instruments, uniquely constructed with a chambered mahogany body and resonant molded top. This semi-hollow recipe retains the unique sonic characteristics of the vintage Supros while providing today's musicians with a lightweight, highly playable instrument that stays in tune and is easy to maintain.

The ten distinctive models in the Americana reissue series come loaded with authentic "Vistatone" pickups, which reproduce the groundbreaking, single-coil design developed by Valco in the early 1950s. These historic reissues are available in two body styles with a range of available hardware options, including piezo body sensors and a newly developed floating vibrato system.

Historic Reissue
The White Holiday is a reproduction of the piezo- and vibrato bar-equipped fiberglass Supro electric guitar that was first manufactured in Chicago during the early 1960s. The White Holiday reissue mates a chambered body with a newly developed, composite "Acousti-glass" top. This updated construction preserves the instrument's Art Deco aesthetics and signature blend of piezo and magnetic pickups, while improving its semi-hollow acoustic resonance and tuning stability.

The White Holiday's vintage-correct tuners, vibrato bar and adjustable, piezo-equipped rosewood bridge are joined by a faithful replica of the legendary Vistatone pickup to bring you a fully realized and worthy reissue of this classic Supro guitar.

Vistatone Pickup
The Vistatone pickup found in the Supro White Holiday is a reproduction of the groundbreaking, single-coil design developed for Valco by Ralph Keller in the early 1950s. The Vistatone pickup is cited as prior art in Seth Lover's PAF patent and is found in many of the most desirable vintage Supro models.

Legendary Sound
The Supro White Holiday is acoustically resonant, and this voice translates through the bridge-mounted piezo pickup, which can be used independently or blended with the magnetic Vistatone pickup.

Our semi-hollow recipe of an Acousti-glass top and semi-hollow body retains the unique sonic characteristics of the original piezo-equipped Supro White Holiday guitar while providing today's musicians with a lightweight, highly playable instrument that stays in tune and is easy to maintain.

Americana Series
