1958 Supro 3033S 3/4-Size Electric Guitar

While there's no branding, this is a National/Valco-made guitar and I've worked on many iterations if this basic, entry-level, 3/4-scale guitar by the company. This one was probably branded "Supro" when it left the factory and, thanks to various other retailers out there on the web, I now know that this version was known as the model 3033S. Thanks for that!

I like these best open-tuned to E, F, or even as high as G, though for the right person with the right hands, standard tuning can be really cool on these. They have a short neck -- though the neck has a quite fat C profile on the rear -- so folks who like a compact feel will enjoy the way these handle.

As per the usual for these, the pickup is a single-coil hidden under the cover at the neck. The neck is bolted-on (and someone actually went to the trouble of giving the neck joint a better fit than the factory did with some filler around the base of the heel) and the guitar is stock right down to the screws.

Repairs included: a fret level/dress, restring, and setup.

Condition notes: it's completely original and in pretty good order. Whatever logo was on the headstock (Supro or otherwise) is missing, but that happens a lot with these as many of them were tacked-on. The finish on these can sometimes be almost "flexible" as they age in places and it has a little pull-up around the bass side of the neck joint on the top. You can push it down a little with your finger. It's totally non-obvious but I noticed it when I was adjusting it. Other than that, it has a few little scratches and signs of wear and tear here and there but overall it's looking great.

It comes with: sorry, no case.
