Supro 1572 SW Belmont American 2018-2022 - Sparkle White

This Supro Belmont American is such a cool guitar and is a really accurate tribute to the early 1960's models of these !! Comes with a generic Gig Bag !

Based on Supro's vintage res-o-glass guitar designs, the Supro Americana Series Belmont semi-hollow electric guitar combines the best of vintage appeal with modern craftsmanship. The semi-hollow mahogany back is topped with Acousti-glass, creating a swampy tone that loves distortion. A Vistatone pickup and '50s wiring deliver the iconic sound that put Supro on the map. Whether you've always wanted a vintage Supro guitar, or are simply looking for an alternative to typical guitar designs, the Belmont will exceed your expectations.

Originally designed for Valco by Ralph Keller in the 1950s, Supro's Visatone single-coil pickups can be found in vintage Supro, National and Airline guitars. It packs plenty of midrange punch, with detail and clarity that remains when you roll your volume back (thanks to the '50s-style wiring scheme). And Supro paid special attention to the Belmont's tone circuit, tuning it for maximum usable range whether clean or overdriven. A common mod for modern guitarists, '50s-style wiring essentially retains treble as you roll your guitar's volume knob back. You can drop your volume and clean up your amplifier without losing sonic clarity and note definition. This makes the Supro Belmont the perfect match for a tube amplifier set right at its breakup point, allowing you range from clean to overdriven without compromising your core tone.

What sets these Supro Americana Series Belmont guitars apart from their ancestors are the modern-day construction techniques that are deployed in their creation. For example, the mahogany neck is attached to the body with a redesigned two-bolt neck joint that maximizes contact and vibrational transfer, with minimal hardware. Vintage enthusiasts at Sweetwater have dreamed of the day that Supro guitars would return, and we can confirm the Americana Series Belmont was well worth the wait.
