Eye candy: near-mint 1960(?) Supro three-legger

Post by Greg Vincent »

Hi folks,

I recently got to take some pics with this
near-mint 1960 (?) Supro three-legger. A buddy up in Seattle is now in possession of this beauty. The former owner was Bobby Ingano, who reports that the original owner bought it new and left it in his closet for about 70 years. :o
Wanted to share with y’all.
Anyone know the model name?

Model 1466 Airline or S446 Jet Airliner, depending on the year. The colors and pinstripe date it to the '60s.

The Supro Jet Airliner! I have three (two eights, one six) and I am enamored with the short scale and the Supro/Valco/National pickup sound from the late 50's. Their cases could use some TLC.
GFI Expo S-10PE, Sho-Bud 6139, Fender 2x8 Stringmaster, Supro consoles, Dobro. And more.

I have the same model, legs and all. It’s a 1964. Killer sounding and playing. Your body got a great steel! Thanks for sharing the pics and the story
